the pupil is the 'hole' that lets light in to the eye and allows us to see.In all animals including humans it appears black.It looks black as the light that enters the eye is absorbed by the tissue of the eye.

The basic horse colors are black, bay, wild bay, brown and chestnut (sorrel).
The main modifiers of these colors are the dilution genes dun, creme, silver, champagne, pearl/barlink. Combinations of dilution genes can act in concert to produce additional colors.

For every basic coat color each dilution gene modifies that color to a new color (exceptions are
heterozygous creme with black and chestnut with silver where the dilution allele doesn't act on the base coat color.

The coat modifiers roan, rabicano, gray, brindle (rare).

There are also shading modifiers like sooty and pangare. that are poorly understood. which change the shade and depth of the base coat color.

The numbers of colors and their various shades is considerable.

This does not include spotting genes that produce appaploosa, tobiano, overo, sabino, etc.

Blue Roan: A Blue Roan is a black horse with the roan gene. The roan gene gives the horse interspersed white hairs on his body, causing the coat to have a bluish tint to it.

There a coat colouration in horses called blue roan but the horse is not actually blue. So in other words, no.
