Do I need turmeric or saffron?

I'm making paella for the first time in a while, and have realised I don't have turmeric or saffron. I have omitted one or the other of these in the past and not noticed a difference, and wondered... do they actually do much for flavour, or are they more for colour? Do I need to go get some?

Saffron
Never turmeric in a paella

If there's no saffron, it's not paella.

If there is turmeric, it's not paella...

Gosh, I wouldn't worry about it. But then I don't much like the taste of saffron.

Depends how much you want to spend and if you like the taste of saffron....
