What color filter would you need to look at a red object through to make it appear white?

You really can't do exactly what you want. The closest you can get is to view an ENTIRE SCENE including this red object using a red filter, with the scene brightly illuminated (with either red or white light). Then your visual system will have no basis to assign the color red to this red object and it will appear as a shade of gray (to black or white, depending on how much light is absorbed by this object).

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.
