What color would white light appear viewed through red filter and pure blue?

Red or blue. The reason a red filter looks and is red, is because only red light comes through it, and the same can be said about a blue filter allowing only blue light through. Other colors are absorbed by the dyes in the filter. If white light enters a red filter, then red light comes out, and the same goes for blue.

What happens when you look at a blue object through a red filter?

When you look at a blue object through a red filter, the object will appear darker and possibly black because the red filter blocks out most of the blue light. The red filter only allows red light to pass through, which results in absorbed blue light and altered color perception.
