I used to think primer was a waste until I tackled my dark accent wall.
Primer is non-negotiable for deep colors, trust me! My bedroom wall looked patchy and dull without it, but one coat of primer got the paint to pop perfectly.

Oh man, I have to disagree on this one. In my place, I've painted a few dark walls straight over the old color with just a good quality paint. I used one that said it had primer built right in. It covered perfectly in two coats, no special primer step needed. I guess it really depends on the paint you buy and what you're covering up. A primer can't hurt, but calling it non-negotiable feels like a strong take.
