they are the same. its just that you use either blue or green(or in rare cases, even red) screens depending on the colors of the stuff u r filming.
a bluescreen will take anything that is blue and remove it.if your actor or prop has blue in it, then the section of him/her/it will dissapear. so if you want to,say, have a guy wearing a blue t-shirt to be isolated, you would use a greenscreen. if the subject is green, you wouldnt use a greenscreen, you would use blue. get it?

There are other reasons for using different colors, too... I believe (to my soul I can pick a bale o' cotton) that green tends to create a cleaner composite...am I right? After all, our eyes see more shades of green than any other color, correct? Guess I better wait until one of the smart guys steps in here.

Oh, I think I see someone smart coming in! Oh, nevermind, its just BIG JIM SLATE.

Prism, you are right though. Eyes are more responsive to green than red or blue. Green is better with human actors and skin, blue is better for models. Red, well is almost NEVER used so you probably don't have to worry about that.

Why would you ever use red, surely there couldn't be any people in front of it

Orange is used quite a bit. It will give the screened in image softer edges. That includes use on people.
