What to do with this brick fiasco? Pic attached

All- Needing some input here. I am rehabbing an out of state all brick property. This property has a lot of crib appeal and IMO, the brick is quite attractive. 

The contractor was to brick the two side doors and I was at pains to mention that I do not want to paint the exterior, meaning he needs to ensure that he comes as close as possible to the current brick Color or find a way to blend. 

Instead, I’ve ended up with the attached pic. Other than painting the whole house meaning additional expense and hiding the attractive brick, is there anything I can do to rectify this?

The multi colored bricks on your house are getting very hard to find, I have two houses with them and its almost impossible to find them with the correct texture.  @Bruce Woodruff is correct, painting is probably your best bet, maybe look at a section paint or mural type of effect, to save doing entire house.
