I'm living in a rented house, and the chick I rented from said it's OK to paint the walls... they were an awful sage-colored gloss, and I painted them to a maroon (3 walls) and black (1 wall) with semi-gloss paint. It's worth noting that I had some problems getting paint to "stick" over the gloss, in case that will affect later paint jobs.
Now she springs on me that I MUST have the room back to white before I leave... any tips on covering these colors? It's a small room and I will really only have a day or two to do the paint job, so I hope to find something that can cover in only a couple coats. Is there some sort of primer that can achieve this? What about this "Kilz" paint I hear about?

Use Kilz or Zinsser primer. Then the finish color. I know Walmart sells Kilz Original for $12 a gallon.

Kilz paint or at Wal-Mart they have a paint that covers odors and stains etc.. They will probably cost you around $15 a gallon

You failed to mention the size of the room.. Maybe, you could place mirrors on the door to give the illusion of a larger room. If this idea is not feasible then try a curtain. My choice of accents colors would be silver, grey and black. If possible put a chandelier in the ceiling.
