You can no longer access renderer.material.color directly anymore starting from Unity 5 up. you must use GetComponent<Renderer>(); to get the component of the GameObject first, then you can access the material from the Renderer.

public float timer = 0.0f;
 Renderer rd;

 void Start()
 {
     rd = gameObject.GetComponent<Renderer>();
 }


 void Update()
 {
     timer += Time.deltaTime;
     if (timer >= 2.0f)//change the float value here to change how long it takes to switch.
     {
         // pick a random color
         Color newColor = new Color(Random.value, Random.value, Random.value, 1.0f);
         // apply it on current object's material
         rd.material.color = newColor;

         timer = 0;
     }
 }
