The colorant may comprise at least one of a dye and pigment comprising a metal cation and preferably penetrates the interconnected pores of the brick additive. Application of the colorant to the additive enables the additive to exhibit substantially the same color as a matrix material in finished bricks incorporating the additive. Ideally, the colorant is capable of withstanding temperatures up to about 1,350.degree. C. without a substantial loss of color imparting properties. The additive may comprise at least one of a phyllosilicate clay mineral, a zeolite and a diatomaceous earth.
