Oh, no, it’s wrong grammatically too, they just don’t teach this unless you study linguistics. Most of all languages with fixed word order and some others have a natural order of adjectives. Tom Scott has a great vid about it.
Yes, Russian has an adjective order too. “A big old blue car” would be «большая старая синяя машина», saying «синяя большая старая машина» implies that “big old car” is a specific term.
In theory, all linguistics are descriptive, no gods, no masters, but in reality rules exist to avoid confusion and by disrespecting the order you risk confusing the listener by implying that some combo of adj + noun exists as a seprate term when it doesn’t
It’s only wrong in how it makes your soul feel. Gramatically, it’s okay.

It’s not grammatically wrong though. It’s a soft ordering constraint. It’s not a hard syntax rule.
If you’re being taught in a high-level linguistics class that it’s a hard rule, then that class is dog s***.
I’ve listened to enough syntacticians ramble about this topic for a life time.
