Is a blue box still blue in total darkness?

Depends on the context of the question, but generally I'd argue it is still a blue box, since that's most likely a question about the property of the box, rather than its current state.

Technically it is an emergent property of the system composed of the light source, the box and our eyes.

Depends how you define "blue". You could be talking about perception, or the wavelength of the light it reflects...
