Suitable evergreen plants to act as hedge for front garden

[Catherine7]

Hi,

Please can I have some advice regarding best possible evergreen shrubs that can be used as hedging. Ideally I would like something pretty & colourful all year round, which doesn't grow too thick & 'woody' but will spread & grown to a height of approx 5/6ft?
