The walls are painted cream. This is a newer house. The taping was done poorly.

The color doesn't matter as much as the sheen. A flat paint doesn't reflect the light as much as a glossier paint. The lighting also affects the look. Lighting directed at the wall surface shows less imperfections that a light along the wall would.

If the taping is covering holes then fill in the holes and then sand
the drywall. Use a primer/sealer and then paint walls any color you want. Here is an easy way to repair the holes: clean up the holes
with an dry wall knife. Measure the diameter of the holes. Find
some sturdy cardboard ( like used cereal boxes etc.) Draw a
circle 1 inch larger than the hole. Poke a hole in the middle of
the circle and thread some household string through the hole.
Tie a knot in the end of the string and pull it snug against the
circle. Fold the circle but do not crease the cardboard and poke it
through the hole. Let it go completely through the hole and drop
down. Then pull the string and bring the circle flush against the
hole with the string in the center of the hole. Keeping the string taunt tie the other end to a chair or a ladder. Make sure the
circle isn't bulging back through the hole. Now trowel in the
spackling paste. Fill in completely and as smoothly as possible.
Let dry over night. Next day, cut the string as close to the wall
as possible and add some more paste to cover the string. Let
dry, sand smooth and re-paint. Should not show at all. Hope
this helps.

white... but there are easier ways to just repair the drywall... go to home depot and get a small bucket of mud and a "knife" and tell them to show you sow to fix the imperfections...

the flat paints are best for poor wall conditions! the gloss paint shows all imperfections

your best bet is to replaster the problem areas and sand them down. Then you can paint any color you like.

First of all they need to go with something that you are wearing. But I like the turquise one.
