Bathroom Paint Help

Good morning. Just looking for some clarification / help on some paint issues in the bathroom.

We started out with our bathroom walls being a very very deep blue. I used the Zinser 123 primer. The blue continued to show through the Zinser, so I decided to step it up to a primer more suited for darker colors. After placing a coat of the new primer ovre the Zinser, I started to notice that the paint in and around the showers was turning "brownish" and looked like it had water marks running down the walls. My guess is that the second primer wasn't meant to handle the moisture.

My question to the forum, when I paint the bathroom, with paint meant to handle the moisture, will this seal in the other primer and eliminate the brownish that is showing up? Or do I need to put another coat of Zinser over the other primer, then paint?
