Diane,

Rosco makes front and rear projection screens that come in either  
white, gray, or black.  From the link you provided, I think you're  
perhaps looking at their gels (which come in rolls or sheets and a  
huge variety of colors).  Gels are generally used to color theatrical  
lights.

I think this is what you're after for your shadow screen:

Not too long ago, I think Hobey (?) gave a rundown on the pros and  
cons of the various Rosco screens - maybe he'll chime in again?
