The purpose of green screens is to give a solid background that is easy to remove in video editing software. Green is an idea color for this purpose because it's a primary color for human vision that does not show up in any appreciable amount in human skin tones. Human skin tones are mostly red, so blue is also viable, but green ends up working better because reddish-green or greenish-red isn't a thing for human vision.
