You can use what is called frog tape to mask off one wall so you can paint it blue and then after the blue has dried, mask it off to paint the other walls white.
There are many good quality paints available: Behr, Sherwin Williams, Benjamin Moore.
Talk to the staff where you buy your paint and they will help you select all the things you need for this project.
We love sherwin williams paint best for indoor. Always lay paper or plastic down on the carpet and tape to the base boards. Be sure to tape around windows too

My preference is to purchase paint from a stand alone paint store like Sherwin Williams or Dunn Edwards rather than home improvement center brands. Tape your dropcloth down to prevent shifting.
