NEW YORK, June 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Golden Seeds leads a $1.3M Series A financing in ColorModules Inc., with an initial close last Friday. ColorModules' premier product Plum Perfect is a visual product recommendation engine that provides instant personal recommendations to shoppers using their photos, whether they are shopping for beauty, fashion or home decor.
