A Vibrant Afternoon with Dr. Color

Join us at the Petaluma Museum for an inspiring afternoon with Bob Buckter—affectionately known as Dr. Color—a celebrated color consultant whose bold, imaginative palettes have transformed thousands of Victorian homes and historic buildings in San Francisco and beyond.

The discussion will be followed by a self-guided walking tour en route to an exclusive reception at one of Petaluma’s most colorful historic residences—an opportunity to continue the conversation and experience the power of pigment up close.

Dr. Color will share stories from his decades-long career, offering insight into his creative approach, the power of color in shaping how we experience architecture, and the role of color in historic preservation. Whether you’re a homeowner, designer, preservation enthusiast, or simply curious, this is a rare opportunity to hear from one of the most influential voices in the field.

Presented by the Petaluma Museum and our Heritage Homes program as part of National Historic Preservation Month, this event celebrates the importance of preserving and reimagining our shared architectural heritage.
