That depends on whether you're only looking for who
Even without the marker, can't you do:
sentence = "the fabric is red"
colors = ["red", "white", "blue"]
for color in colors:
if (sentence.find(color) > 0):
print color, sentence.find(color)

Taking you literally, I'm not sure you need regex. If you know or can
find position n, then can't you just:
sentence = "the color is $red"
patterns = ["blue","red","yellow"]
pos = sentence.find("$")
for x in patterns:
if x==sentence[pos+1:]:
print x, pos+1
But maybe I'm oversimplifyin
