If the light source is truly cyan, the red object should appear black. The object is red because it reflects the red portion of the white light spectrum. With no red wavelengths available to be reflected, the object will have a lack of color (i.e., black).

How do colored objects look under colored lights?

If the light is or contains the colour the object it is striking, then the object will appear to be the colour it originally is. If the light is not or does not contain the colour the object it is striking, then object will appear black. This is because an object will only reflect the light that is the same colour as it, all other light is absorbed. For example: Red, yellow, magenta, and white light will make a red object appear red as they all contain red light. Blue, green and cyan light will make a red object appear black.
