You can't hope a markup-command will accept an override for a
property, if said property isn't declared in any way.
Thus, I tried to write a markup-command aiming exactly this use-case.
Though, there might be a bug in `stencil-whiteout-outline', Paul cc-ed.

Look at:

\markup \stencil
#(stencil-whiteout-outline
  (make-filled-box-stencil '(-1 . 1) '(-1 . 1))
  0.5
  red
  16
  1)

\markup \stencil
#(stencil-whiteout-outline
  (stencil-with-color (make-filled-box-stencil '(-1 . 1) '(-1 . 1)) green)
  0.5
  red
  16
  1)

First one is ok.
But in the second one the color from the stencil is taken (green) and
the specified (red) is ignored.
Will investigate more detailed the upcoming days.
