Paint color/type for garage walls?

I've got a water stain on the garage ceiling that I need to paint over to cover up so this means I'll paint the garage ceiling as well as the garage walls. It would look suspicious if the ceiling had a fresh coat of paint when everything else looked dingy.

But, what type of paint and paint color would work best for the walls in the garage? A quick google search suggested that grey is what you should paint a garage. But, then why does everybody use white for their colors in the garage?

What's good or bad about using grey or white for the garage?

And, if you're going to use non-white color for the garage, wouldn't you then choose to use the same colors you used for the interior of your home. The rest of the walls are a yellow color that I'm not crazy about, but I was trying to match it with the porcelain tiles flooring.
