SANTA ANA, Calif., Nov. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On the heels of Veteran's Day, Behr Paint Company is excited to partner with The Jennifer Hudson Show, Interior Designers Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent, and Operation Homefront to surprise a deserving veteran family, the Greens, with a home makeover. Berkus and Brent selected paint colors Tranquil Gray DC-007, Even Better Beige DC-010, and Behr's 2023 Color of the Year, Blank Canvas DC-003, all shades from the BEHR® Designer Collection palette, to help transform the family's home.

In support of their mission to build strong, stable, and secure military families so they can thrive – not simply struggle to get by – in the communities they've worked so hard to protect, Operation Homefront, a national military nonprofit, helped Behr identify the Green family for this opportunity. Berkus and Brent revealed the gift on today's episode of The Jennifer Hudson Show, which has been spotlighting deserving individuals making a difference in their community.

"We can't wait to see Nate and Jeremiah's renderings come to life in the Green family's home," said Erika Woelfel, Vice President of Color & Creative Services, Behr Paint Company. "Their expertise paired with our selection of high-quality products and versatile BEHR Designer Collection paint colors will undoubtedly make for a beautiful home transformation."

The Green family met with Berkus and Brent's design teams to discuss their design preferences for the spaces in their home they needed the most help with - their living room and children's playroom. In anticipation of this meeting, the designers pre-selected paint colors from Behr's all-new Designer Collection, a palette of 30 designer-curated whites, neutrals and accent colors to make the color selection process easier. Ultimately, they chose Tranquil Gray DC-007, Even Better Beige DC-010, and Behr's 2023 Color of the Year, Blank Canvas DC-003.

"The Greens are such a special family, and we really wanted to make sure that the spaces we were making over for them would be beautiful, but also functional. They are a family of seven, so these spaces need to be extra hardworking," said Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent. "Paint is fun, easy and the most immediate way to change the way your space looks and feels. For the living room, we chose Behr's Tranquil Gray, a delicate taupe/greige shade that will make the room feel calm and inviting, and create the perfect backdrop for family gatherings. For the playroom, we decided on Even Better Beige, a versatile neutral color that pairs well with any palette. For finishing touches, doors and trim, we selected Blank Canvas, a warm white that will complement the color on the walls beautifully."

Shomari Green and Renee Green are middle school sweethearts from New Rochelle, N.Y. Shomari is a former Army Combat Veteran who served 4 years active duty, followed by 1.5 years in reserves. Renee Green is a former army veteran who now owns her own mental health counseling business serving her local community. The pair have been married for 14 years and together for 25. They have 3 children and are currently fostering two toddlers. Nate and Jeremiah will be updating the family's living room and children's playroom, both high-traffic areas in the Green home.

"We are thrilled to partner with Operation Homefront and Nate and Jeremiah to show how paint colors can create a transformational experience for the Green family," said Jodi Allen, Global Chief Marketing Officer at Behr Paint Company. "Using Our 2023 Color of the Year, Blank Canvas, in both spaces will provide the Greens with a fresh start to the new year while bringing relaxation and calmness for their busy family of seven."

The re-designed spaces will be revealed on The Jennifer Hudson Show in early 2023. For more details about the show and where to watch, visit https://jenniferhudsonshow.com/.
