I don’t understand why we can’t have red screens or black screens.
It’s just green for some reason.
In: Technology
Theoretically any colour can be used for background screen as long as it is not used by objects/actors in front of them.
A red screen is bad idea because in some light conditions, parts of human skin can look rather reddish. Also red and blue are very common colours in clothing, meaning whole wardrobe design needs to be changed and severely limited.
Black just doesn’t work as it’s the colour of shadows, eyes, hair, shoes etc.
Bright green is not very common colour in clothing, can easily be spotted and separated by post processing. So that’s what’s used most often.
