That is kind of a chicken or the egg situation. They do go hand in hand. While the colour of the walls and woodwork sets an initial mood of the room texture adds to that. It adds interest, it defines how you want to feel in the space. Shiny, glossy, hard surfaces give a sense of clinical, clean, hygienic. While fabrics, soft furnishings bring coziness.
In my eyes one can’t really stand above the other. Both need to be balanced together. Say you are thinking of redecorating your living room. You mostly use this room in the evening and want to be able to walk into a warm cozy room, where you can relax in the sofa while watching a bit of television with a cup of warm tea. Both colour and texture have work to do here. First off I probably wouldn't be painting the room white, or (too) vibrant colours. Equally I wouldn't be filling the room with shiny surfaces, tile flooring or bare windows. Instead I'd be pairing the colour and texture together. Perhaps going for more neutral, maybe even dark colours. Adding a nice rug underfoot. A lovely comfortable sofa to sink into, with easy access to a blanket to pull over your feet. A few cushions to tuck into. Great mood lighting so you can adjust it just right. Window treatments that wrap around the windows, to round it off a bit of a fire. Don't forget that even within adding texture you are also adding colour. They are not stand alone. There's texture in colour and colour in texture.
