FYI, lasers in this context probably would not be allowed. Some other form of light source, ie, LED ring, would work perfectly fine and is legal.

As to your question, it's a tradeoff between tolerance and specificity. Making your accepted color range narrower would clean up your signal but make it more prone to failure due to lighting conditions, and vice-versa.
