Exposed sides of concrete slab - attractive moisture barrier?

[Stephen Tashiro]

On the exterior of a brick house on a concrete slab, much of the sides of the slab are exposed. I'd like to apply a moisture treatment to the sides of the slab in case future landscaping pushes more dirt against them. What's an attractive way to do this? (e.g. something with a "earth" color - not pitch black or bright blue )

Laticrete 9235 is typical for basement walls. Not terribly attractive, but cap with a veneer brick, like an inch thick.

I built a shallow concrete pond/feature at my previous house. We painted it with Sanitred. When I was researching pond paint, same product was suggested for basement walls as well. In pond I had a badly done concrete joint, water never breached the paint.

It required touch once in 5 year when I used wrong tip on pressure washer.
