    When we painted our fireplace wall (entire wall of brick), the guy at the paint store told us to “just get BM Black” so we did. It looks black, without undertones, if that helps. *Edited to add; we had already planned to paint the wall black before we went to the paint store.

    After swatching more BM white paint colors (upstairs) and cream/off-white paint colors (downstairs) than I care to remember, we were more than happy to simplify our choice of black paint. :)
