Another thing to keep in mind is that mortar can be tinted to almost any colour. All of the brick structures shown below were painted with Floquil reefer orange, then different shades of mortar were applied, and slightly different weathering methods used.

This particular shade of orange brick was quite common in my hometown of Hamilton, Ontario, although many structures appeared much darker on account of airborne pollutants. If you use the spackle method of applying mortar, you can pre-tint it with acrylic paints, or simply add a wash of the same after the "mortar" is in place.
