Maybe ochre but often times "tan masons sand" will do the trick.

Subject:	[BP] mortar coloring

I know Nicholson & Galloway put carbon black into the mortar when they
repointed my 1909 building at 90th and Broadway - the dark mortar, deep
struck, punched up the red of the brick.
 
But >>what do you add to mortar to make it sandy beige?    
 
Whatever it was, the "waterproofing company" which worked on 915 West End
Avenue (1922, Rosario Candela) decided to save it for something else.
