 * __WHY DO THEY USE GREEN FOR GREEN-SCREENS?__**

Answer the question below, append new answers to the top of this page. _ __Response 1:__ Green screens work by using editing software called Chroma key. It works by removing a solid color and replacing it with an image. The green screen technique actually works with almost every color. It all comes down to what the actors are wearing. Green has just become the normal color because the bright neon green of the background is seldom used for costumes and sets. Aside from green screens the only other color used in big budget movies is blue screens. Movies may use blue screens if they have green or bright costumes or if they have blonde actors, this is because blonde hair is too similar to green making the effects not work. For example the movie tron used a green screen because the characters costumes were black and blue. Then in the movie the spider wick chronicles they used blue screen because it suited their color scheme better.
