I have recently purchased a newly built home and when they bricked the
home, the mortar color is quite a bit lighter in certain places than
others. Where this problem becomes an issue is that it happens on two
walls in the front of the house and it's exactly half of the wall. If
it were sporadic, it wouldn't be as noticeable, but when an entire wall
is 1/2 one shade and 1/2 a much darker shade, it looks pretty bad and
really stands out.

Is there anything that can be done to correct this? Something that can
be done to make the mortar match all the way around the home?



The cheapest route would be to label this "character" and just get used to
it. The next best bet would be to have a mason come out and inspect it, and
give you an opinion more useful than you're likely to get here.
Tuckpointing the brick would probably do the trick, you'll need a real
estimate to know how much that'll cost.
