Can you use kilz on canvas in place of gesso?
So far, so good! I have used Kilz (Original) as a primer for oil on canvas painting since the mid 90's. Given the high cost of gesso, I turned to it as an alternative. No sign of color fade, paint flaking, etc... But I still wonder about it's tack and cohesion, over more time. I am a believer of it as a poor man's gesso. Furthermore, I would not be surprised if it held up longer.

Can you use white latex base for a primer?
Well it's better than nothing, but quite possibly not as thick or well covering as primer is. If your wall is already white or even a pale colour, it won't make a lot of difference. If the wall is new drywall, or a dark colour you shouldn't use this.
Had wallpaper on the bathroom walls I removed the wall paper now I'm wanting to paint the wall what kind of primer should I use?
You should carefully inspect the wall board for any damage. If the paper "skin" of the wall board has peeled off with the wall paper, you will have to patch that before you can paint. Otherwise, I would recommend a good quality latex primer.

Your bathroom is a light red and you want to paint it tan Can you use pink primer?
No. Never use primer to change wall colors. I once bought a house that was just renovated. Everything was nice; but the walls. The renovators cheaped out and just covered the walls in white primer, it made them all feel like sandpaper.
What color primer should you use?
Orange. Why are you using a primer? If the walls are already painted, just apply 2 coats of the paint that you want to use. If you use primer, have the paint store tint the primer toward the orange color that you have chosen.
