Revere Pewter is the wow paint I keep hearing about, by Benjamin Moore. It rarely looks gray, it's a very warm greige in my eyes, but it is very rich looking and goes well with all shades of wood and furniture from cherry to walnut and back to mahogany <https://www.thecreativityexchange.com/2014/02/color-spotlight-benjamin-moore-revere-pewter-paint-it-monday.html>.......and carpets and wood floors from white to walnut to mahagany . I have seen it and this is true.... https://www.sengerson.com/our-home/benjamin-moore-revere-pewter-10-reasons-best-gray/ Do the woodwork in a very rich(warmer) looking shade of white with a sheen. Use the shade recommended in your favorite paint store or blog post with pictures... Paint the fireplace bricks in a satin black paint color that is close to the opening of the fireplace surround now, as well as the top shelf of the mantle, ----while making the surround wood trim the same white as the rest of the woodtrim in the home will be. It will be very nice!
