Clothing for a green screen studio

 

1. Avoid Wearing Green or Similar Shades

• Any green clothing or accessories will become transparent when the green screen is removed.
• If the background is chroma key blue instead, avoid blue clothing.
• Check for subtle green tints in fabrics that might interfere.

2. Stick to Solid Colors

• Best Colors: Neutral tones like black, white, gray, beige, or pastels.
• Avoid: Bright neon colors, as they may cause color spill (unwanted reflections).
• Pro Tip: If skin tone is warm, cool-colored clothing (blues, purples) works well, and vice versa.

3. Avoid Shiny or Reflective Fabrics

• Satin, silk, sequins, or metallic fabrics can reflect green, making them harder to key.
• Matte materials work best.

4. Mind Accessories & Jewelry

• Large, shiny jewelry can reflect green and interfere with keying.
• Glasses with anti-reflective coating are preferred to prevent green reflections.

5. Steer Clear of Fine Patterns & Stripes

• Small patterns can cause a moiré effect, which results in weird visual artifacts.
• Stick to solid colors or large, simple designs.

6. Hair & Makeup Considerations

• Avoid excessive hair gel or oil, which can reflect green
• If wearing a hat or cap, ensure it does not cast shadows over the face.
