Reply to comment by Chedda-King in ELI5: why is the color green the magic color for video editing? by Chedda-King
You can't use red because it is too close to human skin.
So that leaves green and blue. Both have been used in the past, but people wear blue or bluish clothes more often than green. Same for props and furniture.
Plus there's some preference for green due to certain compression methods.
