Best practice for modeling brick walls with colored coursing stripes?

Trying to determine the simplest and cleanest way to create exterior walls which have a primary / base color brick yet a single horizontal accent color row every ~9th course. Same type / module of brick and all within same main wall plane.

Prefer not to create separate walls or beam elements for the accent courses as there will be quite a few of them.

Operating system used: Mac Apple Silicon Sonoma 14.6.1

Photoshop a texture to include your accent which covers some interval of 9 courses?

Here is a snip from a complex profile for an exterior wall, where the courses alternate from type 1 to Type 2.

There is also a minor corbel.

Each fill is linked to their respective Building material, which reads their individual Surface.

That has been our method the last several years.

One exterior wall, spanning multiple stories.
