Sometimes when part of a keyframe is missing it’s filled with gray instead of repeating the previous image. That makes sense since it can get lighter or darker with delta, but IDK why out of bounds is green (and yes, the video decoding can overwrite some of the green if an object travels out of frame, for example).
Yes, but did some programmer just decide it’s maxed or green, and then somebody else toned it down to a more reasonable green? How did we end up with this specific shade?

This is probably just someone’s effort to pick a color similar looking to a green-screen in film, since it is serving the same technical effect.

I know a video capture program that used a very dark purple for the card to fill in with HW-accelerated video. In Microsoft Office 2003, Clippy uses a pure magenta and other assistants pure cyan. This fails to turn transparent because of desktop compositing in the Aero theme of Windows Vista and 7. So I think it can be any color but software I know uses those unlikely to appear in real video.
