We have built-ins on either side of our gray brick fireplace, and I would love to paint the fireplace out in white. However, my husband feels it would be a bad idea.
Hello Kathleen. Since you don’t want to paint the brick and just want to add a hint of color, You might consider white washing your brick fireplace surround. Most people don’t realize this but you can tint your white wash any color you like so in your case tint it maroon. Good luck!

I painted my brick fireplace with the same latex paint I painted the walls with. Worked great.
Honestly I would reverse the color and lighten it instead by applying a white wash.This way you will have tint of color .
