1. A method comprising:
at an electronic device having a processor:
detecting a visual marker depicted in an image of a physical environment based on recognition of a first portion of the visual marker;
determining, based on a second portion of the visual marker, a visual marker interpretation scheme, wherein the visual marker interpretation scheme interprets each of a first color of the visual marker and a second color of the visual marker as a same value based on determining that the first color is within a threshold color distance from the second color; and
decoding a third portion of the visual marker based on the visual marker interpretation scheme.
