Yes. A hen can only lay one color of egg in her lifetime, determined by her genetics.
However - you will notices as her laying cycle continues, eggs may get progressively lighter, and then will return to darker and richer hue as the laying cycle starts anew. They will still be the same color, but a slightly different shade.
You may be confusing pure bred Ameraucanas for Easter Eggers or "Americanas". Ameraucanas have a breed standard and lay only blue eggs. Easter Eggers/Americanas are mutts, and can lay any color egg.

The actual contents of the eggs are not green; the green eggs are produced by Araucana hens and Ameraucana hens. Unlike white and brown eggs, the green pigment (color) goes all the way through to the inside of the shell. With brown eggs, when you crack them open, the brown color is only on the outside of the shell. With Araucana eggs, when you crack them open, the green is on the inside of the shell also. You can view green and blue eggs on my bio page.
