I need to do some tuckpoint repair on my brick fireplace. The mortor is a dark grey color. How do i color or dye the mortor to match?

most mortors will dry different shades of grey. If you have a small amount of repair to do I would buy the ready-mix type. Mix a small amount and let dry. If it is too light you can buy grey mortor or concrete coloring (either will work) and add till you get the desired color.
