Hi Farhan,

Your formula will be simply like this
  
AND( 
ISBLANK(TEXT(Shape_c)), 
NOT(ISBLANK(Colour_c )) 
)

I was just wondering on this but what if Colour_c is blank and there is value on Shape_c. Does it needs to be prevented as well?
If yes then we can try something like this:
OR(
             AND(
                                      NOT(ISBLANK(Colour_c )),
                                      ISBLANK(TEXT(Shape_c)
                         ),

              AND( 
                                    ISBLANK(Colour_c ),
                                     NOT(ISBLANK(Shape__c))
                         )
     )
