this is why a lime tinted-with -color- plaster over AE can look good. I 
should take an image of the  scrap ply board coated with a deep tan 
rubberslate layer, over which a lime plaster is placed..both look good 
and both can be tinted,

AND you can paint the  AE with common  latex ( leftover  recycled) 
paint if you like to waterproof...so no cement is needed in 
"papercrete" unless load bearing support is required.

any any cob-crete will mush out if water can enter.. AE does not 
breathe...it will keep water out..and also trap it in.. IF it gets in.

Also  ( as Rubberslate)  when AE is heavily mixed with clay it turns a 
fawn tan, or attractive  caramel color depending on natural color of 
the clay itself
