Best material for a green screen?

[AoTFan]

Hey guys, I'm wanting to make my own green screen for a possible video project.  I remember VAGUELY reading somewhere about someone saying the best type of fabric for a green screen is Green and then they gave a number or something.  Anyway, it was a standard shade you could pick up at Wal-Mart or any fabric store.

I was curious if anyone knew what type it was, or had any tips, urls in general on the subject.

Thanks!

I'm often told by directors & DPs it's just plain green, & not to get complicated.
Of course, this cones from guys who keep a fancy $100-$2,000 collapsible green screen handy, which, for some reason, looks a bit darker than that one wall in their studio that they painted green for green screening...

That's why I'm sticking with acting & audio for now, and will openly profess, I know nothing about either.

For a simple green-screen setup, I agree that using a plain, consistent shade of green is probably more important than choosing an expensive setup. Even lighting also seems important because shadows can make the editing and background removal more difficult. For people working on video projects and adding text or graphics later, having useful design resources such as [spam link removed]cool symbols in Urdu[/spam] can also help when creating titles, captions, or other visual elements.
