AutoCAD HATCH patterns cannot contain colors. Sorry

if you installed Express Tools (and are not an LT user), try the command SUPERHATCH (usage nd limitations are explained in HELP).

The only way you could do it with hatch is to have multiple hatches for each brick, or at least 2 hatches, one for each layer color and manually select each brick. Either way is tedious. If your wall is 3D, you can assign a material to it that is an actual image of bricks (jpg, png).

I question whether its necessary to show such detail in a model. You can create a hatch that has the pattern layout you need, but to show the colors, you could use a detail drawing with notes on color placement and even include an image. Then, wherever that pattern shows up in your model, just refer to the detail.

If it's always a linear element like your example, you could make an array or dynamic block that you could copy into a drawing when needed and then you just drag it out to the length you need. Assuming that is the case, if you share your CAD file I can show you a couple of examples.
