Brushes are just that, they only pain in the colour the brush has been dipped in so to speak. However, you could use the quick selection tool and select area's of the brush and colour as you want.
The black one is the plain brush, the coloured one is just a case of selecting the layer and then adding colour either with other brushes or just colouring in areas.

Gautam, here's another similar way to do this type of effect.

You first need some corner brushes that you like and want to use.

Here, I have used two separate brushes to make this design. They are black for the moment. I place each one on it's own layer. Then I turn off the layers.......I do this because I'm only going to use then as templates.

I create a new layer.
I Comnd/Cntrl + click the thumbnail of the first corner template. This makes a selection in the same shape.

I then use my Brush Tool and a soft round brush, to brush in different colors. These colors will remain inside the selection.

I do the same for the other corner template.
On a new layer, use the Brush Tool and a soft round brush, to brush in different colors.

I add the same layer style on both colored design layers to add a drop shadow.

Up until this point, I have kept everthing on separate layers just in case I need to make ANY changes.
Highlight the two COLORED DESIGN LAYERS, Hit Comnd/Contrl + J to duplicate the two layers, then hit Comnd/Contrl + E to merge.
Turn off all other layers and group them if you wish.
The merged layer is now ready to be moved to another document.
I save this document.

When your ready to use the corner design, move it into the new document.

Place the corner design in a corner.
On a separate layer below the design, use your Brush Tool to add some color below the design.

This is not exactly the same as your example, but it gives you a general idea of how it could be done.
