If you're a TH 7 I wouldn't worry too much about it, get your core to purple and you should be fine. But TH 8+ and definitely go to purple. Just in general, walls are great. It may look like they don't serve much purpose with hogs, loons, and jump spells being as popular as they are, but walls can seriously slow down attackers and turn a 3*3 star into a 2*2 star attack. Not to mentions, walls are extremely intimidating, and that's never a bad thing.
