Blue or green background color?

I have several questions concerning blue or green background colors used for separating the foreground from the background:

1. Why blue or green?

2. Does it matter which color?

3. Does the shade of either color matter?

4. Whichever color, it usually spills over or reflects in the highlights of
hair. What is the best way to get rid of this?

5. Have I forgotten anything regarding the background color of what to do/use to get rid of the spill over in hair?

Thanks………

I have several questions concerning blue or green background colors used for
separating the foreground from the background:

1. Why blue or green?

Typically not found in faces.

2. Does it matter which color?

No.

3. Does the shade of either color matter?

No. as long as your device or software can ‘tune’ to that color.

4. Whichever color, it usually spills over or reflects in the highlights
of
hair. What is the best way to get rid of this?

Lighting, distance.

5. Have I forgotten anything regarding the background color of what to do/use to get rid of the spill over in hair?

Absolutely even lighting on the screen!
A bit more physical separation helps too, but that means a bigger set/screen.

Thanks………

I think I mis-stated my issue: I have read many times that, if you know ahead of a shoot, you should use either a blue or green background (like the pros do in movies). This makes it much easier to separate the foreground from the background using software.
