Adjective word order - when after the noun?

So I thought Dutch had a word order similar to English, with the adjectives in front of the noun. But then I see sentences like this from NOS:

Mysterie knalgroen kanaal Venetië opgelost

So the adjective indicating that the canal is "Venetian", is coming after the noun, even though two other adjectives came first. Is this typical, and is it usually the location that comes after?

Thank you!
