Conflicting Vision Target Lasers

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.
