Texture?

So, removing the wallpaper I find most of the sheetrock is in pristine condition. There are several spots, however, where in my enthusiasm to remove the paper or the over enthusiasm of the hanger of the paper, the glue won the battle. The paper lost. The tears are in various splatters, mostly at eye level, standing. Is it better to texture the entire wall, or to make these booboos smooth? The colors mixed down at the local Ace are always a nice surprise. "Button" was seen as a pale gray, but went on as a vibrant lilac. These are the materials we have to work with. We're doing the best we can.
