Why do red object's look black in blue light?
Red and blue are primary colours therefore they do not contain any other colour. When a blue light is shone onto a red object, all the blue light is absorbed by the red object, and as no red light is being shone for the red object to reflect, no light will be reflected from it and it will appear to be black. It is important to remember that physical colours will only reflect it's light colour equivalent. All other colours are absorbed. So red will reflect red, green will reflect green, and red will absorb green and so on.

What colour will red boots look in red light?
They will look red. This is because red boots only reflect red light. If white light was shining on them then they would still appear red because the red light would be reflected into your eyes and the other colours from the spectrum would be absorbed. However, if, for example blue light was shining on them, they would look dark/black because there is no red light to reflect.

It will look red. White light is made up of a spectrum of many colours. The primary colours are red, green and blue. An object (in white light) appears yellow because it reflects red and green light but absorbs blue light. In red light, the same object will simply reflect the red light. Since there is no green light, the object will appear red. (A mixture of red and green gives yellow)

What colour would a green object look under a red light and why?
A green object would look blaack in a red light because coloured objects absorb all colours except the colour they are, so a green object absorbs 6 colours (red, orange, yellow, blue, indigo, violet) and reflects 1 (green). In this situation, there is no green light to reflect and it can't reflect other colours, so it looks black. :)
