'Chroma keying can be done with backgrounds of any colour that are uniform and distinct, but green and blue backgrounds are more commonly used because they differ most distinctly in hue from most human skin colours. No part of the subject being filmed or photographed may duplicate a colour used in the background.'

No one wears green! In fact it's illegal to do so in most states and the District of Columbia.

Except on St Patties day, that is why we have blue screens.
