If it's obnoxious, you might have a case. Otherwise, I'm not so sure... If you hate the color, you might be able to paint the trim something to make it blend better. I, personally, hate red brick houses, but I've seen it look quite good with complimentary trim and front door. Photoshop it out! I’d have to see the brick. If it’s obnoxious, you might have a case.

Any time I see a home improvement show where they paint brick fireplaces I shudder a bit. Granted, that's a fireplace and not the exterior, but I wonder how your brick would look if you took a pressure washer to it and peeled off some time and wear... I guess I’m a naturalist.

My two cents is that painted brick looks bad, and once it's painted, there is no going back. I’ve seen a number of houses with brick painted.
