What colour does red appear when seen through a blue filter?

The reason we call a blue filter a "blue filter" is that it looks blue. The reason it looks blue is that blue light is the only kind of light that can go all the way through it. Any other color of light gets absorbed in the dyes between the layers of the filter, and never comes out the other side. If you shine red light at one side of a blue filter, the other side of the filter looks dark, as if nothing is shining through it. And if you look at a 'red' sweater through a blue filter, the sweater looks black.
