I've had a few new plants that looked like that when I first got them. Just seems like something that can happen during shipment and handling and transplanting and whatnot. Those bent-down leaves may never want to bend back up but they will in due course shrivel away as do all the old leaves. Technically speaking, I don't think it is etiolated, at least not much. It actually seems to be in pretty fair condition IMO.
Semps come in all sorts of colors and change from month to month. Don't assume your plant is particularly pale, although it's certainly possible. Natural outdoor sunlight is what it wants. Some shade during the intense parts of the day would be good, especially for a potted plant that can bake and dry out.
