There are a lot of great evergreen options that are either broadleaf or coniferous. Please peruse this list https://extension.colostate.edu/resource/evergreen-shrubs/ for a wide range. Some popular choices from that list include pyracantha, Oregon grape holly, broom. If you don't mind venturing into partially evergreen you could look at wayfaring tree viburnum or Yardline viburnum. They hold their leaves through most of the winter and have a great growth habit.
I'm also including our native trees and shrubs list in case any of the native shrubs appeal to you: https://extension.colostate.edu/resource/native-shrubs-for-colorado-landscapes/
