You find that out when you go to show the unit when they never asked permission to paint even if it's in the lease.We used a set color, Antique White, Contractors grade Conco brand from Menards. so we can touch up after move outs and never have to think about "what color was on that wall" I use a eggshell finish on everything except kitchen and bath. there I use semigloss.So pick your color and 5 gallon buckets are best cost savings.
