Each piece of clothing usually reflect only a few colours. Pure white light contains all of the colours, so an item of clothing can reflect all of the few colours it is capable of reflecting. If an item of clothing is viewed in magenta light (which is mainly blue and red) then that clothing may show that it is only able to reflect some shades of red and/or some shades of blue.

Why does a green t-shirt look green when viewed in white light?
White Light is made of all the colours of the spectrum (rainbow). If we look at something, say, green (like grass) it looks green to us because the chlorophyll in the leaves absorbs all the sunlight that lands on it with the exception of green light which it reflects. Therefore this green light that reflects into our eyes makes us see the grass as green. White objects, however, absorb no light and reflect all the colours back to us. As all the colours together make white light, we see the object (in your case, a T shirt) as white.

Why does a green shirt look black in red light?
The reason the shirt appears red in white light is because it is absorbing all other colours apart from red which it is reflecting into your eyes. When in a green light there is no red component of the light to be reflected so the shirt absorbs all the available light which makes it appear black.
