I've Got It
Green screen is used because the colour it is very easy to key out, but in actuality you can use any colour at all. A pale colour is not advised because it won't work against the skin, or any clothes. Blue screen is very often used. I don't think the material matters too much either, I had a friend who did some chroma key using a piece of crapet supported by two chairs. Although the keying wasn't brilliant that was probnably down to them being amatuers and no external lighting.
Green and blue are industry standard, but other colours will suffice as long as nothing in the forground is the same colour!
