public class ChangePlayerColor : MonoBehaviour
{

Renderer rend;

private void Start()
{
rend = GetComponent<Renderer>();
rend.enabled = true;
rend.sharedMaterial = material[0];
}

You’re not going to store the material itself in PlayerPrefs. Instead store an identifier, and when you read back the identifier you pick the correct material based on it.

From your code it looks like they are mostly different colors, so you could create an enum and convert to int, or you could just write the color as a string. Then when reading back you use either a dictionary or a switch statement to get the correct material set.
