Not directly. You could set a list of cells that indicate the colours of other cells and then could count them. So for example, in the cell beside each cell that is red, put the word red, and then use the COUNTIF to count the cells that have the word red in them.

If the original cells have been coloured based on conditional formatting, you may be able to use the condition to count the cells too.
