This is the optimal green screen paint color and paint type. A green screen can actually be a variety of different green or blue colors but this paint color and paint type works best for green screens in my opinion. If you’re not familiar with how a green screen works, it provides a brightly-colored backdrop of consistent color that makes isolating the subject from the background effortless. The technical term for “green screen” is Chroma Key! #GreenScreen #ChromaKey
The paint that I use for my green screen is Sherwin-Williams STRAIGHTFORWARD GREEN. Be sure to purchase in flat latex. If you don’t get flat latex, the green screen effect will not work well. The goal is a non-glossy finish. Also, a green screen will not work well unless it is properly lit and there is enough distance between the subject and the green screen wall to not produce shadows.
