You either love em or dislike em. Each to there own on this palm, but it’s a proven winner regardless with its yellow colour and it’s predictable landscaping growth. It’s hear to stay, no wonder it’s been around so long. I even grow a few for that question got any golden canes? 

I am in the “love it” camp. I have a large one on each side of the house. When they form trunks the color under the old leaf bases can be amazing. The new spear can have a pink color as well. Harry

The coloring , from golden orange to pink as the new spear emerges. This one on the east side of the house now has a few trunks reaching the roof line . This is one of the younger stems , maybe 6-7’ tall so the coloring is visible.

Iam in the cant stand the leaves they drop and no more are getting planted in close proximity to the house garden. Some will get planted as pioneer palms on the outer edge of the garden expansion. 
They are pretty tough so for those hard to grow places they will be used as a microclimate buffer zone. 
You’re right though the colour of them is variable and you can’t beat them really for that. If they were to be introduced as a new palm into cultivation today they would be in such high demand and be selling for hundreds of dollars.

I've tries this palm multiple times, in the most sheltered spots in my yard, but they simply don't live long here. By long, I mean, they don't survive a single winter. Our winters in Fresno have not dropped below 34F in approximately 10 years, which in theory would be within lutescens' tolerance range. We have a prolonged, cool/wet period from Nov through Feb each year with lows in the mid 30s to mid 40s, and highs in the 50s and 60s. No frost some years, but even without frost, these begin to slowly die. Whatever fungal issues arise from the prolonged cool/wet conditions, they're accelerated by warm temps in April, and whatever canes may look ok/decent by then, inevitably rot with the arrival of warm weather.  Just a short drive south, over Tejon Pass and into the Los Angeles basin, winters are dry and sunny so this palm does great with very little care.

Doesn’t sound good for you, your persistent attempts in vain are saying that the palm won’t grow in your climate. If you’re that keen to get one I suggest you try getting seeds from one that is in the coldest possible location around, then germinate them grow them in a protected  spot until they are at least 3 to 4 feet tall, this may give you a palm that is somewhat acclimatised to the cold. By collecting seeds from a palm that has already felt what cold weather is like, seeds from a tropical location are far more prone to cold. Good luck.
