So my hair is currently a medium color of red (auburn really) and I want to use Colorista temporary permanent dye. I'm not sure if it would come out or not.

I have never heard of temporary permanent dye. It is one or the other. In either case, I would do a strand test. You are dyeing over previously colored hair and you dont want surprises.
It will be a dark purple burgundy which will look more vibrant in the sun
L'Oréal does offer a semi permanent line of hair coloring called Colorista. Most semi permanent colors last from six to nine shampoos. It has been my experience that they all leave some residual color that cannot be shampooed away. A good example is Clairol's Loving Care. The black shade in particular, left a cow dung green stain that could not be shampooed away, even after all the 'black' was gone.
A common misconception among a lot of 'home colorists' is that a second color over the first, some how eliminates the first; or that a second color over the first will completely hide the first, as in painting black paint over red. Neither is the case.
Modern hair color products have a degree of translucency. When attempting to estimate the results of applying one color over another, a good analogy is food coloring. Adding a drop of red food coloring to a glass of water will turn the water red. Then, adding a drop of blue coloring will not turn the water blue. Instead, it will turn it purple (a combination of red and blue).
Unless you are using a color remover between colorings (which isn't always a good idea), you're just adding color to color. In your case the resulting color would be a combination of the red you now have, and the purple color you apply over it, and the color you apply over the purple.
I have used L'Oréal color, but not their Colorista line. I'm thinking if you use the purple semi permanent color and don't like it, you wont be able to shampoo it all away. Then adding auburn over the residual purple would give you who knows what color.
Your best bet is to do a strand test before each color is added to the entire head.
