Is this really a priority at the moment? Are there no more pressing issues than paint?

I suspect that painting the siding a darker color will increase your A/C costs a little bit. White reflects more of the sun's energy than darker colors.

You can paint vinyl siding. Just make sure to use vinyl-safe paint, which is typically a blend of urethane and acrylic resins. It's good you already cleaned it, and a primer might help the new color adhere better. Beach colors like blue or green sound lovely and will refresh your home's look. Hang in there with all the home repairs it is a lot, but it sounds like you are making great progress. Good wishes.
