Answer 2

Depends. If you want to green screen an entire scene, you need to make sure NONE of your actors/scenes/props or whatever are the same green, otherwise they'll vanish.

You could try a light green, that usually works best, or if not, try a light blue, which is 'bluescreening' duh

Answer 3

you want pure colors, not pastels. pastels reflect all colors making the differentiation a more difficult task because it contains some red and some blue in addition to green. use "hunter" green or "grass" green.  Forest green is darker and will require more light. Remember the screen has to be lit as well as the subject!

FYI green screen is a technique better suited to film process. Television work normally uses a Cyan blue, which is the exact color negative of flesh (blood) tone and normally gives the cleanest key when working with people as the subject.
