Reply to comment by Phage0070 in ELI5: why is the color green the magic color for video editing? by Chedda-King

This is all correct, and as a bonus fun fact, the reason blue screens were previously more common is because film is less grainy on the blue channel. So the shift from blue to green coincided with the shift to digital.

Another bonus fact, the reason the human eye is more sensitive to green is because we evolved in trees as primates. Science yo.
