All shadows are coloured, but that depends on the lighting source.

Natural shadows appear blueish in tone because the natural light is blocked from the shadow area, leaving only indirect light (refracted) and blue light from other parts of the sky.

By playing around in a controlled setting with different coloured light sources will create different coloured shadows.
