It's not a matter of order or permutations. Things like \with-color
#red are not complete without the immediately following item, just like
"immediately following" is not complete without "item" in this sentence.
If you write
\markup { text \with-color #red }
you'll get an error, not because of "ordering" but because \with-color
#red is an incomplete construct.
