When the Hales were giving a seminar for DPM, they pointed out that buildings might have 2 types of brick (or other masonry). The front would be done in an expensive or imported brick, while the sides and back, which weren't very visible from the street, might have a cheaper, local brick. We have buildings in Brampton where the front is stone and this goes a few feet around the side while the rest is rough brick. Very noticeable on on downtown building where the buildings between it and the corner have been demolished.
Brick colours will depend on the local clay. Lots of red, but also yellow. Brits have a blue "engineering brick". I suppose other colours would be in a really expensive brick or a glazed tile.
