Hi,

supposing you are not trying to load a user defined function named routes(), have you read the documentation? https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/routing#named-routes and the source in which this function should be defined? Does exists?

Use an editor that can autocomplete the code, in SublimeText for example, when you hover a method/function it shows you in which files this is defined and you can click it to see the code. Also add a linter plugin to enlight obvious mistypes and forgotten operators.

I still do not understand what I did wrong. Am I wrong to define name on the post routes?

Route::post('/home/navcolor', 'SettingController@postNavColor')->name('navcolor');

The name is well defined, otherwise you would get an exception:

Route [navcolor] not defined.

The error message says Call to undefined function routes(), which in other words means that the function you are trying to call does not exists. Have you read the documentation? I posted the link for you in my previous message. You already have the solution, you could have solved this hours ago.

I cannot find away to fix the error still remains.
