It does not contain gaps which will retain soil runoff and soon harbor weeds.
I'm not a fan of concrete block wall to begin with, but the rainbow effect does not help. Who wants a concrete wall to be a focal point? Or for it to stand out even? It should be a solid color and fade away as much as a large section of concrete can. That landscape needs plants - and lots of them. It's very sterile at the moment.

They have two cool shades (grey, charcoal) and two warm shades (brown, red). From an aesthetic point of view I think it would have been better to keep to one color family at a time. Perhaps they were trying to hedge their bets so it would go with a variety of future paint colors on the house?
I don't care for the color combination at all. With the consistent size and shape of the blocks I would like consistent coloring as well...maybe more than one color but not 4 in different tones and shades.
