Some newer subdivisions have horrible covenants and require certain colors to be used.

In my subdivision, if you paint your bricks you can use any bricks (new bricks a much cheaper than old bricks), but if you're going to use unpainted bricks, they have to be old bricks. So I think in my subdivision it's about a 50/50 mix of folks with painted bricks - half do it b/c they like the look and half do it b/c it's cheaper than having to use old bricks.

Personally, I'm not a fan of the painted brick look.
