You are indexing a color as (Neon) and (Plastic). Your capitalization is also incorrect. Do this:

while true do
    script.Parent.Material = 'Neon'
    wait(40)
    script.Parent.Material = 'Plastic'
    wait(78)
end

In the future, please format your code using ```lua. It would also be nice if you could shorten your title and explain it more in the topic itself!

You can use game.Lighting:GetMinutesAfterMidnight() inside of an if statement for switching the materials. Here is an example:

local lighting = game:GetService("Lighting")

while true do
      local minutesAfterMidnight = lighting:GetMinutesAfterMidnight()
      -- if time is between 6pm and 6am then the material is neon, otherwise it is plastic
      if minutesAfterMidnight <= 6*60 or minutesAfterMidnight >= 18*60 then
            script.Parent.Material = 'Neon'
      else
            script.Parent.Material = 'Plastic'
      end
      wait(1)
end
