Order of usepackage causes error with footnote and xcolor
Attempting to compile the following,
documentclass[answers]{exam}
usepackage{footnote}
usepackage{xcolor}
makesavenoteenv{solution}
begin{document}
begin{solution}
Hello.footnote{Goodbye.}
end{solution}
end{document}
I get an error on the line calling footnote about a spurious group-closing symbol. If, instead of the xcolor package, I use something else like amsmath or fullpage, no error occurs. Furthermore, if I switch the order of the usepackage statements for xcolor and footnote, no error occurs.
From reading this post, I saw that some packages require the ordering of usepackage to be a certain way. Is this one of those cases, or is something else going on? Intuitively, footnote and xcolor seem completely unrelated.

No error if you comment outxcolor. Let's see why.

Also, no error if you loadxcolorbeforefootnote.

Which tex distribution and which package version do you use? Please add the first line of your log file to your question (contains tex distribution and version) and search the log file for the version numbers of used packagesexam,footnoteandxcolor.

Considering how many packages use color (even normalcolor), one should always load xcolor first.

The footnote package contains the line
letfn@endnotecolor@endgroup
This is a problem if color@endgroup changes its definition after the footnote package has been loaded (and this happens if you load xcolor).
So the recommendation is to load xcolor earlier.

You can use the updated footnotehyper package instead of footnote, which fixes a number of other things along with this:
documentclass[answers]{exam}
usepackage{footnotehyper}
usepackage{xcolor}
makesavenoteenv{solution}
begin{document}
begin{solution}
Hello.footnote{Goodbye.}
end{solution}
