John,
It's looking good so far! Very interesting work.
For your wall, there will always be some kind of residue once you wipe the mortar line. You best bet is to "recolor" the blocks using a dry medium to be sure it won't get into the crack. It may be drybrushing, using color pencils or chalks as Tyson stated. Use difference shades, it will bring the particular random look you are looking for.
If you look at this image, I used it to simulate terracotta blocks over a door.
