You can do Chromakey with any colour on the palette except for white and black, which don't key very well at all. Indeed, I remember that during the 1970s and 1980s, UK broadcasters would often use a dull shade of yellow as their key colour, and it worked perfectly well back then.
Also. if you're going to follow the style of the old movie serials, remember they were often produced in a hurry, with many serial episodes produced in a year. There was litttle time for retakes, and there were a lot of wide-ish shots that allowed for quickness of production. Only key characters or moments would get close up coverage, so use your closeups sparingly. I wish you all the best of luck with this project.
