The object reflects the colour(s) you see and absorbs the rest. This is why black objects get hotter in the sun than white objects. The white 'colour' reflects much more energy (especially infra-red) whilst the black object absorbs more energy (especially infra-red).

What colour will a Green object appear if only Blue light is shone on it?

The green object will appear black because it will not reflect any of the blue light shone on it. Green objects primarily absorb blue light, so without any green or red light present, the object will appear dark.
