No. Fleckvieh cattle, or those that are purebred (unlike the North American Simmental cattle), come in only gold, red, brown, tan, or yellow (or light blond) with the typical characteristic white markings. If an animal that is supposedly Fleckvieh but black would merely be a crossbred or an animal that is a composite-breed animal, and not Fleckvieh at all.

Don't confuse Fleckvieh with Simmental cattle, even though both breeds are very closely linked genetically. The Simmental breed has an "open breeding" ruling in that any animal can be registered as Simmental (not Simmental-cross or SimGenetic) as long as there is 7/8 Simmental breeding in said animal, according to the Standards of Registration by the American Simmental Association. Simmental cattle can be near any colour besides the popular brown and red associated with the more heritage Simmental cattle, including black.

Are cows blue or yellow?

You will never find a cow that is truely blue in colouration (like that of the sky or of the control panel to the left on this page), but you will find blue-roans who often have a smoky-blue colouration due to the black and white hairs mixed together. Shorthorn-Angus crosses and Belgian Blues are such cattle that often come in blue-roan colouration. Unlike blue cows, though, you will find yellow cattle. These are often called buckskin-coloured or blonde cattle than yellows. Blonde d'Aquitaine, Charolais, Gelbvieh, Guernsey, Simmental-Fleckvieh, and Charolais-Angus-Hereford cross cattle are examples of breeds and crosses, respectively, that can all come in yellow-coat colouration.
