You need to construct the ReferralForm with the data (request.POST) and probably also with the files (request.FILES).

A Form without data is called an "unbounded" form, and unbounded forms are always invalid. You thus create a form with data with:

def submit_referrals(request):
    form = ReferralForm()
    if request.method == "POST":
        form = ReferralForm(request.POST, request.FILES)  # 🖘 add data and files
        if form.is_valid():
            print("VALID")
            referral = form.save(commit=False)
            referral.user = request.user
            referral.column_number = 0
            referral.colour = "ffffff"
            referral.save()
        else :
            print ("NOT VALID")
