what are the color possibilities of a calf if I used a blue roan bull on my blond/white/roan heifer?

Black
Red
Red Roan
Blue roan
Black w/ white marks
Red w/ white marks

And if by blonde/white/roan you mean a char cross, well then you could have any of the above colors diluted.

It might also be possible to have a yellowish roan color similar to Bixlers Sahara bull-Alot of black cattle get bred to chars and end up almost white or white-but with the Shorthorn-roan in there-it would seem (at least from what ive seen)-that the Char color just isnt as dominent. O0

my blondes dam was a red roan shorthorn plus. shorthorn dam/simmental bull. her sire was a charolais bull. so thats how, I assume, she is just a diluted red?
