Even though saying “the big brown brick wall” means the same as saying “the brick brown big wall”, the second feels so very wrong.

“the brick brown big wall” would have a different meaning.
It makes it sound like “brick brown” is a type of colour.
And then “big wall” is sounds like something different than just a “wall”, it’s its own noun.
The strict order you would normally put these words actually allows us to have more flexibility in the words you use. For example, having a colour called “brick brown” is made possible. If we allowed any random order to describe things, that couldn’t happen.
