It's possible. It depends if the roo has the O gene- it's the gene that helps make the blue, green, olive eggs. If he doesn;t have it then none of his daughters out of white or tan eggers will lay colored eggs. If he has it, definitely expect daughters to lay colored eggs..
Normally, the O gene is very closely linked to the pea comb gene.. which means they inherit together "99%" of the time. When this happens, it is extremely easy to tell which chicks have it- all pullets with pea will lay colored eggs.
Naturally, there's a big "but" with EE.. they're such a mixed bag, there are pea combed EE that either do not have the O gene(they lay tan or white eggs despite having pea combs) or are not pure for O.. meaning half of their pea combed chicks will go on to lay colored eggs, other half won't. So you will not know for sure if your EE roo(s) have the O gene until you breed them with say, the NN and keep the pea combed pullets until laying age and see what colors their eggs are. If you keep 10 or more and all lay colored eggs, then that's proof the roo is very likely pure for O gene. If only half of them, then he only has one O gene.
It's much easier to breed a NN roo with green/blue egg laying hens. That way you don't have to wait for the daughters to mature before finding out.... you know for sure that at least half of the daughters will lay colored eggs.
