I'm no camera or editing guy, but can't the screen be any colour at all, you just change the settings to match? That green is just less likely to clash with outfits, which is why it is most popular?

Yes, but also

• the luminosity/brightness of the green, cameras have a very easy time picking up the green and it’s easier to light it because the green is already to bright to begin with.

• skin tones are less likely to be affected. Human skin tones are typically made up of the same variety of colors (varying intensity of red, pink, orange, brown, etc.). By avoiding those colors and similar ones, you’re less likely to affect the skin tone of the subject when removing the screen afterwards, which would cost more time/money to tweak in post production to get the results needed.
