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.

Is it ok to use paint with primer a good paimt?
You should always use primer first.
When is the best time to use primer Before you paint or after you paint Does it depend on the color that you are going to use or what color you are going to paint on?
Before you paint you should always prime and what type and color of primer to use changes by situation. Three types of primer to really think about. There is water/latex based which is used mainly if you are doing a color change. Oil/alkyd based paints is used for covering stains such as water, grease and smoke. If you use water for stains the stains bleed through and if you use oil for color changes it takes a few coats for the base color to stop showing. The last is Shellac which I've never used but have been told it covers stains and does color changes. Now for primer color, you have the options of white, grey or getting them tinted. Most color are good with a white primer, but if they are really dark or very bright you may want to consider something ealse. Some paint colors (mainly reds and oranges) may take many coats (I've heard of up to seven) for the paint color to come out smooth and even with no blotchy spots/see thorugh if you do not use the right primer. Best to ask the person who makes your paint if it needs a colored primer. Now some paint brands recommend for the colors that need it grey primer and some recommend tinted primers. Grey can be bought off the shelf and tinted primer is made generally by adding 1/4 the paint colors formula to the primer (do not try for more, primers take color differntly then paint and it may come out too dark)
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.

What color primer should you use with valspar mediterranean seaside blue?
Since it is an oceanic blue color, I'd suggest that you use a primer that is tinted to at least 3/4 of the top coat. This should give enough coverage over the old color to allow you to recoat with only one additional coat. If the primer is not available in that dark of a color, then a gray primer will suffice.
What color polyurethane primer is good for a light color polyurethane paint?
Primer is almost always the exciting color of light gray, so if you're painting with a light color, you should stick with the gray. Primer could theoretically come in any color, but gray is what you'll nearly always see used. Sometimes a shop will use a darker primer such as red for certain darker colors of paint so that they won't have to use as many coats of paint to cover the usual gray primer.
