zero, there are already eight balls of three different colors,
the maximum number you could remove would be like iamigloo said,
except you'd have to leave that many in the box if you wanted to leave at least eight in the box of one color,
if you take more than 26 out you may not be left with 8 of each,
the 27th ball taken out is possible 9red, 9 blue, 9 white

Don't take out any balls. The minimum is zero.
You already have at least 8 balls of 3 different colors in the box.

8 because to get 8 balls the same color and to get the minimum you need 8
