For walls, you could use emulsion, lime-wash or traditional milk paint. Lime-wash or milk paint would be more expensive, but they give off less toxic fumes and are also used in restoring historic homes because they are more authentic. For a very matte effect, you can also put pigments in the plaster (if you are building plaster walls) instead of painting them.
