Not directly. You can create a user-defined function, use
this function to return the color index of the current
cell, and then filter by color index.

1. Press ALT+F11.
2. Go to Insert > Module.
3. Paste in the following code:

Function cellcolor(Target As Range)
cellcolor = Target.Interior.ColorIndex
End Function

4. Click back into XL.
5. In the next open column, put a header like "Color".
6. In the next cell of this column, call the function
like:
=cellcolor(D2)
7. Now copy this cell, select the rest of the column, and
do Edit > Paste Special > Formula
8. Now apply your AutoFilter and filter on this new col.
