Suggestion

S'il s'agit de mortiers destinés à être utilisés sur des façades, on peut supposer qu'en Bretagne ils seront majoritairement blancs, alors qu'en Provence ils seront colorés en jaune/orangé/rouge.

Ou, selon l'idée d'AllegroTrans, "palettes de couleurs typiques de chaque région", c'est mieux.

regional colour
une gamme étendue de teintes (couleurs, nuances) locales (régionales).


Explanation:
Dans ce contexte, je pense que "regional" et "colour" ne doivent pas être traduites de façon littérale. A voir.

Maybe "locales" could be replaced by "typiques de la région" 'Allegro's idea).

And one might also use "couleurs locales spécifiques". La liste s'allonge !
