Brisket tips

Howdy folks! I am chasing that perfect mahogany color to my briskets. Any wood recommendations to get perfect color on the bark?

Cherry does this for chicken thighs. I don't do brisket so I can't say, but I thought brisket was supposed to be black.

I've not heard to people varying their wood on a brisket to achieve a particular bark color - but I'm far from an expert, particularly where different woods are concerned.

Most people do brisket with oak and shoot for a black bark.

Hopefully, some others who are expert will come along.

As @foghorn mentioned I have never tried to vary the color of the bark, always looking for a rich dark finish.  In my experience the protracted cook time will yield a dark finish every time even when I've used a more brown colored rub combo.  You may want to go with a lighter colored rub and then wrap in BP when you get the color you are looking for as that may help with your objective.  FWIW-  
Play around and let us know how it works out.  Best of luck.
BTW- I am no expert but I have definitely cooked a few with results that cover the spectrum.  The most fun cook you can do on the BGE, or any other rig.
