Usually a blue light has to be added to trick our eyes into seeing white. We have three types of cones in our eyes, each optimally triggers on a color, with reduced sensitivity for other wavelengths / colors. Our eye/brains "fabricate" a color from the three signals, and "white" is the result of this construction.

What colour would red green and white appear if a green light was shone at them?

While the ball would still be green it will appear black. Anything green absorbed all colours except green. The green light is reflected to your eyes which makes it look green. Thus in red light (with no green in it) the red will be absorbed and no green light can be reflected to your eyes so the ball will look black.
