Horse isle answer: blue
Since an object is observed as the color(s) it reflects, a green object absorbs all colors and reflects green.
Since an object is observed as the color(s) it reflects, a green object absorbs all colors and reflects green.
A "green" object is called "green" because that's the only color of light it reflects, and it absorbs any other color. If orange light is shining on it, then there's no light for it to reflect, and it looks black to you.
A green object absorbs all colors of light except for green. When white light, which contains all colors of the visible spectrum, hits the object, the green pigment in the object absorbs all colors except green, which is reflected off the object. This reflected green light is what we perceive with our eyes, giving the object its green color.
No, under green light a red object will still appear red. This is because the color of an object is determined by the wavelengths of light it reflects, and green light does not change the wavelengths that a red object reflects.
If an object is white in sunlight it will be green in green light. A white object reflects all wavelengths (colors) of light that shine on it. If only green light shines on it, that color will be reflected and the object will look green.
An object that reflects green and red light would be some shade of yellow or orange, depending on the proportions.

An object that reflects green light appears green to our eyes. This is because it absorbs other wavelengths of light and reflects primarily the green wavelengths. For example, a leaf appears green because it reflects green light while absorbing other colors like red and blue.
An opaque object that absorbs green light would appear magenta, which is the complementary color to green. This is because the object absorbs green light and reflects red and blue wavelengths, which combine to produce magenta.
The color that we see is not the color of the object in question, but the color of the light it reflects. This means that a "green object" absorbs all colors of the visible spectrum except for green light, which it reflects back to our eyes. White light is the combination of the entire visible spectrum combined. Thus a "white object" reflects all colors of light. On the opposite side of this question, a "black object" absorbs all colors of light, because "black" is the absence of color.
When a blue light shines on a green object, the green object will absorb some of the blue light and reflect the remaining green light. This is because the green object absorbs light of complementary colors, in this case blue, and reflects light of its own color, green.
