There is evidence that suggests that a maltese tiger, or "blue" tiger could exist in reality, however, none have been confirmed. The 'blue' name is a bit of a misnomer, as 'blue' cats are a dark gray. A "blue" tiger would likely be dark gray, with slightly darker striping, much as a panther's spots are still visible. Of course, in art, liberties may be taken.
A tiger may also be a black tiger which would have much darker fur. See also:
