By definition, black is the absence of light and color. In the real world, all objects with the possible exception of black holes reflect some light, but objects that appear black are absorbing, rather than reflecting, most wavelengths (colors) of visible light.

What colour will a white object appear if only red light was shone on it?

Red. The colour of an object is determined by the wavelengths of light it reflects and absorbs, and a white object is one that reflects light across the visible spectrum. If only red light shines on it, it will reflect that light. In contrast, a black object appears black because it doesn't reflect any visible wavelengths, so would still appear black. Any object that doesn't reflect the wavelength of light you're using (eg blue objects) would also appear black because it isn't reflecting any light.
