Why an object appears yellow in daylight appears red when illuminated with red light and red when illuminated with magenta light?

Our eyes only see the colours red, green and blue, in varying levels. It is our brain that converts combinations of these into the many millions of colours that we can perceive.An object that appears yellow under white light is reflecting colours that cause both our red and green cones (cells in our eyes that respond to colour) to fire. Note we have no yellow cones in our eyes.When the same object is placed under red light, then only red light is reflected from the object, and thus only the red cones respond, causing us to see the object as red.
