Tinting an undercoat helps protect the surface color.

Ever painted a color over pure white ? - or Black ?
it shows through.

They have dark sealers for dark paints.

I assume a "semi-gloss" sheen paint would look appropriate against
the Zinsser white. Is there an easy way to tint the Zinsser 123 I
have on hand or should I just go buy a quart of the color I want off
the shelf (provided I can find it)?

Why do you want to tint a primer?

The finish coat(s) are going to cover the primer anyway.
