Yes. It works this way because you are reading a file (sequentially) and processing it as it comes.

if you find red, process that
if you find blue, process that

Yields the same results as

if you find blue, process that
if you find red, process that

if you're processing the same file.

If you were to read the entire file first, and store it somewhere, then the order of the processing would matter.

e.g.
Code:
for color in line; do
  [ "$color" = red ] && foundred=y
  [ "$color" = blue ] && foundblue=y
done < file

[ "$foundred" = y ] && echo found red
[ "$foundblue" = y ] && echo found blue

Code:
found red
found blue

Would be different with...
Code:
for color in line; do
  [ "$color" = red ] && foundred=y
  [ "$color" = blue ] && foundblue=y
done < file

[ "$foundblue" = y ] && echo found blue
[ "$foundred" = y ] && echo found red

Code:
found blue
found red

DXmColorMixGetNewColor(3X)												DXmColorMixGetNewColor(3X)

NAME

       DXmColorMixGetNewColor - Retrieves (returns) the color mixing widget's current new color red, green, and blue values.

SYNOPSIS

       void DXmColorMixGetNewColor(
	       DXmColorMixWidget cmw,
	       unsigned short *red,
	       unsigned short *green,
	       unsigned short *blue );

PARAMETERS

       The  widget  identifier	of  the  color mixing widget.  A pointer to the returned new color red value.  A pointer to the returned new color
       green value.  A pointer to the returned new color blue value.

       A complete list of all the X color values available to you is located on your system.  To find it, type the following  command:	%  find  /
       -name '*rgb*' -print

DESCRIPTION

       DXmColorMixGetNewColor  allows  the  calling application or routine to quickly obtain the current color value from the color mixing widget.
       Note that if your application uses the default color mixing subwidget, the application will perform this operation faster if you call  this
       routine instead of the Intrinsic routine XtGetValues.
