ᐅ Painting Basement Walls: Concrete, Drywall – Which Paint? Primer?

mman182Hello everyone,
we’ve bought a house and want to improve the basement a bit. Specifically, we want to paint the walls, but there are three different materials involved: concrete, stone, and drywall (as far as I can tell as a non-expert).
What would be the best way to do this? Ideally, I’d prefer not to have to use three different paints... I just want to get a white finish, it doesn’t have to be perfect.
Do I need any primers?
I’ve attached some photos.

Thanks in advance!
Best regards, mman

I would prefer not to have to deal with three different colors. You don’t have to. Common paints, such as emulsion paints, are suitable for many surfaces.
