The object will appear to be blue. However, the object would be indistinguishable from an object that reflects all colors of light. If yellow light were shone on an object that reflects only blue wavelengths, the object would appear to be black.
An object that reflects green and red light would be some shade of yellow or orange, depending on the proportions.
It's called "A Blue Object" because when light of many colors falls on it, it reflects the blue light toward your eyes and absorbs all the other colors, including yellow. So if yellow light is the only light falling on it, the light is all absorbed, none is reflected to your eyes, and the object appears black.
It will be white, because really, objects both reflect and absorb colors. For example, a red object absorbs every color aside from red, which reflects back. White absorbs no color and reflects all colors, while black absorbs them all and reflects none. the rainbow will be reflected back
We see color based on the way objects reflect light. Different wavelengths of light are different colors, and the light that an object reflects is what we see. For example, a red ball reflects red light, and so we see the ball as red. Any light that the object doesn't reflect is absorbed, so the red ball would absorb all the light that isn't red. This light then turns into heat. In science, white is the absence of light, and so white objects reflect all light. This means that the object isn't absorbing any light, and so the object isn't absorbing any heat.

Any object you can see reflects light. If it did not reflect any light it would be invisible. Similarly, no object is so reflective that it reflects all light. The proof that it absorbs light is that it increses in temperature as it is exposed to light.

If an object absorbs all the colors in white light, it reflects black.

Red. The colour of an object is determined by the wavelengths of light it reflects and absorbs, and a white object is one that reflects light across the visible spectrum. If only red light shines on it, it will reflect that light. In contrast, a black object appears black because it doesn't reflect any visible wavelengths, so would still appear black. Any object that doesn't reflect the wavelength of light you're using (eg blue objects) would also appear black because it isn't reflecting any light.
A colorless object appears white or transparent. It has no specific hue or shade and does not reflect or absorb any particular wavelengths of light to create a color. Instead, it reflects all visible light equally, resulting in a colorless appearance.
White reflects all the colours/wavelengths of light. Oppositely black would absorb all light. Hence you don't see light from a black object, you recognize the contrast between it and its surroundings. Any colours would be a mixture of absorption and reflection. If an object is transparent it reflects no(or close to as little as possible) light. Just an explanation based on science classes. -Jess
