Not all basements are alike, of course. Your basement may be light and bright with a walkout door, or it could be a dark space with a few small, high windows. Assess the available natural light and what artificial lighting you need to add. The right lighting will dramatically open up your color options and make it easier for you to choose the right basement paint colors. Also, ask yourself how your basement is used.
