I would also go for grade B engineering brick, which will be cheaper
than facing bricks as well as being more suitable for garden walls, and

I've a feeling the match to the house will win in the end. Style over
function. I'd guess if the colour looked ok from a distance (after
weathering) that would be fine. But not what looks more like a yellow than
red brick.

You can get red engineering bricks, but they won't have the same texture
as the house bricks.
