It's made up of cement blocks and used by one wood stove only. It's already
painted yellow by the previous owners but was wondering if I could paint it
something else.

Well I would guess it would be safe assuming you don't fall off a latter

be fine.

Believe us, if the outside of your chimbley gets hot enough to ignite
paint, then deciding whether to paint it or not is the least of your

No, it will still be a chimney.

The law is all block chimneys must be painted yellow. Ok just use
exterior latex....
