Why is a black table black?

A black table is black because all of the colours are absorbed , and none are reflected. It is the same for any other black item too, for example: A chair. Now, if a chair is red, that is because blue and green (the 2 other primary colours in light) are absorbed and red is reflected. It is the same for if a chair is blue or green, the two other colours are absorbed, so the colour you are seeing is reflected.

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.
