Answer: Yes, this is allowed if there is no Neutral in the cable and there is no risk of confusion.
Rationale: NEN1010:2020 514.3 Identification of conductors, 514.3.6 The use of a blue conductor for certain applications: “For certain applications, provided that the risk of confusion is eliminated and in the absence of a neutral conductor, a blue conductor may be used as a phase conductor or for any other application except as a protective conductor.”
