Would Chick Charms Gold Nugget show its full range of colors outdoors in a temperate climate--without much cold weather?
Chick Charms® Gold Nugget™
Sempervivum (Hens & Chicks)
I saw in your YouTube video that this plant likes -20F to get cold temperature stress to get colorful in winter. We just can't provide that here!

You still can get some great gold tones by gently stressing Sempervivum with full sun and drought. Even in a temperate climate (such as hardiness zones 9+) this 'Gold Nugget' will color up if planted in full sun with rocky, well-draining soil, and very infrequent water. But you're right, you might not see some of the hot pink accents it gets in response to hard frosts.
