Default Paint for Retaining Wall

What type of paint should I use for a block retaining wall. In wet
weather the wall gets fairly wet so I would be worried about using
standard exterior wall paint (Weathershield/Sandtex etc) because the
dampness seeping out from the wall may lift the paint. The paint is
for decorative purposes. Is there a more permeable exterior paint.
Would a whitewash type finish work?


Thanks

Frank
