Steve, I really like your results: that brickwork looks excellent. However, I don't think that it's the right one to use with a concrete-framed building. All of the ones I've seen (mostly factories) used a mono-coloured brick, although the one shown below does seem to have some buff-coloured bricks mixed in - the area where it's located is noted for bricks of that colour, as is evident from the second picture, taken at the same site.

Unfortunately, I don't have any photos of the dozens that were once located in my hometown of Hamilton, Ontario - many have been torn down, and some have been painted over, but all the ones that I recall used bricks of the same red-orange colour, and I've seen the same shade predominating throughout Ontario and the Northeastern U.S., too.
However, I suspect that you may have a specific prototype in mind, one that inspired you to go with the type of brick you show, so, by all means, use it.
It's just not what I'm used to seeing.
