Damselflies (and dragonflies) are pale when they first emerge and, depending on species and conditions, take about a week to mature - your photo is of an immature male a 'few' days old.
Also, in some species, particularly blue ones, mature adults can be duller than normal in colder conditions, becoming brighter as they warm up.

Thanks Roy, that answers that question then. Didn't know that.

Saw my damselfly again today, same flowerbed. I will keep an eye on it over the next week.
