I have had this Aeonium 'Bronze Medal' a few years now. It was just a normal kind of green until I put it out in the garden a couple of weeks ago. It's amazing what sun and rain will do to a plant.

That is a gorgeous and unusual colour. I wonder what the parentage could be to give that caramel?

That is a strange colour for a plant

I looked up the parentage, the Huntington website suggests that one is Aeonium sedifolium but does not know the other. As it is a hybrid it could have several species in its history, The dark colour it goes suggests to me that there is maybe some Aeonium 'Zwartkop' in it.

As the OP said it's a result of being in full sun.

Greenlarry - sunlight would of course intensify the colour - but not the hue. caramel is a very uncommon colour in Aeonium.
Liz - A. sedifolium - interesting. Nothing else about the plant looks like that one!

Having said that is is quite densely branching and the leaves are very succulent. Very interesting!
