Accepted Answer

You can see here on the AKC breed standard site that they are all considered one breed even though they are different colors
http://www.akc.org/breeds/cavalier_king_charles_spaniel/index.cfm
You can see the breed club code of ethics here
http://ackcsc.org/ethics.htm
The risk might be in breeding those two particular colors is that you would get a dog not marked enough to be a good blenheim and too much white marking to be a good ruby.
You can read about coat color inheritance in this breed here
http://cavalierkingcharles.org.uk/colour_inheritance.html
It has a chart of what you might expect when you cross colors as you scroll down on the page.
Hope this helps you!
