Leyland cypress will get considerable taller than even 20 feet, at least 50 or more.
I think a dwarf Alberta Spruce might fill the bill, but as with most dwarf trees, it's a slow grower. You'd probably want to start with a 4-5 footer, which aren't cheap.
Another tree, which has hundreds of unique cultivars, is the Japanese maple. I have several with red leaves, and one with lime green leaves and dark coral pink bark. My varieties will mature at about 20 feet, but there are quite a few Japaniese maples that mature to less than 10 feet. Being deciduous, you loose the privacy they might provide in the winter, though.
