A new book featuring the career of Bob “Dr. Color” Buckter

This book celebrates one of San Francisco's most influential artisans: Bob Buckter, known to all as “Dr. Color.” Since 1970, this San Francisco original has been consulting on colors, transforming tens of thousands of buildings across San Francisco and beyond, while helping define how the world sees the city and its “painted ladies.” Bob Buckter: Architectural Color Design is a loving career retrospective featuring over 120 of Bob's projects across the last half-century. Written by local historian Ben Zotto and profusely illustrated with photographs taken or curated by Anson Moran, Bob Buckter: Architectural Color Design also includes Bob's unbelievable biography, historical background on San Francisco's Victorian buildings, and profiles of two of Bob's closest collaborators. A bonus essay by Dr. Color himself explains his thought process for color selection and is useful to anyone thinking about their own paint colors—or curious about how a half century of color design principles could inform other disciplines. The book is hardcover bound and printed on heavy gloss paper. Please visit drcolorbook.com for details.
