The medium should be close to the color of your base, you can tint the medium to any shade you desire. The reason for the base is so that the canvas does not soak up too much paint (good oil paint is expensive). Its also provides a smoother and more uniform surface for the painting as well as helping to make it more durable for future use. Linseed oil should be used as a basic step, or if the rough canvas look is desired. It depends on the work of art, the lighting used to show it off.
