No (although rough collies don't come in "red merle;" they come in sable merle, though it can be difficult to tell an adult is a merle). In general, however, if you mate two merles, the litter will wind up including an average of 25% homozygous merles, which will usually be excessively white and have a high probability of being deaf and blind.

How do you create a blue merle pitbull?
First of all you need to have an american pitbull terrier that carries the merle gene, and there is no way of knowing if a pitbull carries the gene unless the merle pattern is displayed on it's coat or you have the blood line record, the reason is because the merle gene is receive. If you don't have the blood line record then you absolutely need one of the parents to be merle and it doesn't matter if it's a red, chocolate, or blue merle and the other parent needs to be blue and you will produce blue merles. Of course if you have a blue merle and a blue you will produce more blue merles but if you have a red or chocolate merle and a blue you will not produce as many blue merles. Typically a breeding pair that has one of the parents being merle will produce an average of about three merles per litter, that is what my females have produced out of breeding with my red merle male three to four merles per litter. Remember you can not breed two merles together because you will produce dogs with defects.
