Any, but usually you use the same brand primer that your paint is.
Most places will tint your primer the same color as your paint if you ask, this way you don't get shading.
Lowes brand paint, is one of the best tested paints, for around 34.00 indoor and
39.00 outdoor, it is rated better then Behr paint from homedepot.
The best outdoor paint runs around 50-60 a gallon.

Can you paint white paint on brown primer?
Yes, you can because brown primer isn't that dark of a color.
Can you use a grey primer then paint white?
Besides a few shades of black, white primer will reflect more light back than a gray primer under a paint color that doesn't cover well. Gray is often used under dark reds which would normally require several coats of paint to cover, The lighi that would normally be reflected from a white primer underneath the paint is, instead, absorbed by the gray primer, giving the illusion of an opaque surface. White primer is used under any light paint that covers well. It can also be tinted to the color of many off white or pastel wall colors to help ensure coverage using fewer coats.
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.

Do paints come with primer in them?
No, you buy the primer separate and paint with it first, let it dry then get the paint and paint over the primer. There are several paint applications where the paint can be used as a primer, and this is called a self-priming paint. In addition, many paints are marketed as a paint and primer in one, however, that refers to its ability to adhere well to a surface and to cover the previous coat. In more difficult priming situations, like staining or painting with a very dark color over a light color, it's recommended to use a dedicated primer followed by a top coat.

Wall that has been sponged a mauve color I'm painting over it with a dark beige color can i use a white primer or should i have my primer tinted?
As long as the original paint is intact, you do not even need a primer. The advantage about using a primer is that it might help to hide the old color easier, but you will have to buy the primer AND the paint that you like. Is the existing paint latex? Is the new paint latex? Is there any bare drywall? Unless there is something that we don't know, I would just buy enough paint to paint the wall 2 coats. If you want to prime it, you can have the primer tinted a little to get you closer to the color that you have chosen, but it will be more trouble and work than is necessary.
