How to chose brick and stone

Here is a home built by LR Hill. Notice how the brick has an almost transparent color. No one brick has one solid color and all the colors drag into one another. This is actually the Rose Range Tudor. I manufactured many of these brick in my manufacturing past. I have stained many of the Rose Range Tudor, if was a tough brick to manufacture due to tight temp set points during the burning process. However, there are about 12 to 14 different colors in this brick. This is a good example of an Earth Tone category. This is one of the few red bricks that work with stone. But see how the two do not compete and how they compliment each other. The burgundy color pull the stone to the brick and the brick stone give a soft but bold contrast. Nice combination. Good job Larry.
