True artistry comes when you learn how to control these elements, and show what to emphasize for your purposes. It depends on your taste, but traditionally, form is deemed more important, simply because it is a bit more technical (as technical as art can get), whereas in terms of color, I believe you either are a color person, or you aren’t.
