You could say that about any walls in any part of a home - not sure
why it would be more of a concern in a basement.

There's no reason that a basement has to have the typical basement
gray color. ?I don't like white or gray for basement walls, it looks
too industrial and/or harsh. ?Pick an off-white that works with
whatever you use for the floor. ?I just redid a laundry room and went
with a sand colored epoxy with the chips in it - hides a multitude of
sins. ?Rustoleum water-based garage floor paint, very easy to apply.
The sand color is a lot easier on the eyes than a gray, IMO.

concrete basement floors are best left bare concrete.

once you paint once its a maintence issue forever.slide a washing
machine out for repair, paint now has scrape mark.

Not necessarily with today's high durability concrete coatings.
