Have a look at Osmanthus heterophyllus Aureomarginatus 'Goshiki'. It's an evergreen holly like bush in a mounding shape which has soft green, cream and pinkish leaves which doesn't much change colour except the new growth in Spring. It is slow growing though so you will have to be patient, mine's about a 1 m high and the same in width after abt ten years from memory.
I don't know if you can buy mature specimens which I suspect would be expensive.
The evergreen Euonymus fortunei is probably the closest to your requirements - plain green, green and white, green and yellow, yellow and green. No reds/purples though, as far as I know.
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
Personal choice but I don't think you will achieve a natural look by planting four bright colours together. In a garden without the addition of green it will look 'manufactured' and to my eye wrong. There is a garden near to me that is terraced and has heucheras planted in a row all different colours. There is gravel/ brick and it looks false to the point of ridiculous. I don't think there are plants to fit your requests manybe mother nature says' no' Houttinya is deciduous. Green dominates for a reason it is the best back drop for bright colours
I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.
Taste is a funny thing. There was a lot of anti to my comments on planting for dayglow puce-pink plastic planter. So I'll keep quiet about the original post..
location: Surrey Hills, England, ex-woodland acidic sand. "Have nothing in your garden that you don't know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."
I don’t see this as a matter of that rather invidious term ‘taste’ … it’s a question of whether the effect the OP wishes to achieve is attainable using living, growing, developing plants.

Nandina is evergreen in my garden and I have 2 colours; lime and red, it comes in others. But whether you can tolerate the colour variations throughout the year and whether 4 different varieties will grow at the same rate is not something I can judge.

A small mercy, then.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
