Expression denotes a type where a variable, value is expected error

I'm trying to change the colour of some materials in unity with the following code: 

    public List<GameObject> targets = new List<GameObject>();
public string name;
public Color setToColor = Color.white;

public Color ChangeObjectMaterialColour()
{

    foreach(GameObject t in targets)
        if(t.renderer != null)
        {
            if(t.renderer.materials != null)
            {
                foreach(Material m in t.renderer.materials)
                    if(m.name.Equals(name))
                        m.color = setToColor;

            }
        }

    return Color;
}

The should take in a list of object I want to change the colour of (which I'll store in the list) and change it to the colour I specifiy. This code is stored in a serpeate class.

Then in my other class where I'm calling this method I'm doing as follows:

private ChangeObjectColour colour;

if(hit.collider.gameObject.tag == "Colour1")
{           
    hit.collider.gameObject.renderer.material.color = colour.ChangeObjectMaterialColour();
}

However this has resulted in the following error:

Expression denotes a type', where avariable', value' ormethod group' was expected

When I click on it, Unity takes me to return Color;at the end of my first method.

How can I defeat this bug?

Indeed:

return Color;

what Color did you intend to return? Should this be return setToColor; ? or maybe the entire method should be void and not return anything...
