Golden Seeds invests in ColorModules, a breakthrough visual recommendation engine focused on color matching

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.

"Plum Perfect's breakthrough technology will unlock the cosmetics segment of the eCommerce market that is so far undeveloped," said Marty Nealon, Managing Director, Golden Seeds, who led the financing and joins the company's board.
