Hi Shelly,
No, you should not use regular house paint on brick or any kind of masonry. You should use a mineral paint like Romabio. I recommend Romabio’s color named Avorio because it’s similar to Ben Moore’s White Dove. It’s a warm, creamy(ish) off-white. It’s pretty and will work with a lot of other colors. Here’s my affiliate link for a 2.5 Liter (0.67 Gallon) size container. Should be enough for a normal sized fireplace surround. Get two if the brick goes all the way to the ceiling:

Hi! This color is in the Yellow — Yellow-Red range, what are the chances of it shifting purple? Thank you!

About 50/50. It all depends on the light. Ask your painter to put up samples for you or at least paint some sample boards. I like Mighty Boards.
