This was a very informative article. I had heard of green paint being used in place of a green screen, but I had yet to hear of green screen specific paint. I am n0t surprised they would list it for so much money, but it is interesting it costs so much without being incredibly unique paint. I love the idea of getting every green paint swatch and testing its compatibility for superimposing images. I might have to experiment myself and see how successful the author’s recommended, “Behr ‘Gamma Sector Green’” works. It is an important recommendation to instead prioritize matching the green if you are also using a green screen in combination. The tips in this article are very helpful to those would like to utilize green screen paint. It could be helpful to learn about lighting green screens and camera settings when using green screens, but this article might be directed towards an audience with more of an understanding.
