Most good flats are washable, but you are going to wash them a lot. because they show every mark. THink eggshell or pearl finish instead. THey repel dirt and are not as shiney as a gloss or semi gloss, JC Licht, Sherwin Williams, Sears, Pittsburgh and Dutchboy make good paints.

Well, to be on the safe side, you should probably prime the walls first with an oil-based primer (I like Kilz, personally). That will let you paint latex acryllics over the top, and ensure that you get good adherence/coverage with your new paint. If you were to try painting directly over the old paint with your new latex, you might get bubbles and flaking of your new color. Since priming is only one extra coat, it is worth it - it would really suck to put a coat or two of your new paint on, put your room back together and live with it for a couple of months, only to find the paint lifting....
