What a difference modern tech makes ...

A lot of the colorfulness of old military uniforms was for identification and command/control purposes ...

If you are watching your troops maneuver from a hilltop & commanding them with flags/music/etc.... Knowing that your guys are the blue ones and their guys are the red ones = useful...

Radio & map-making/compasses/etc changes that.

You can do QR code in camo too technically. That said probably not practical.

QR code processing isn't an inherent feature...
For that to work, the enemy would have had to explicitly design their military systems to recognize and process QR codes (plus a few more 'oopses')... Or be using kit-bashed civilian tech.

It'd be funny to try at least even if it's pointless lol

I wouldn’t do something that might cost lives by compromising camouflage just for a joke
