Hi,Would it not be Usted estas palido ? Instead of:
Usted está pálido.You are pale.

Hola Anna

Although tú and usted both refer to "you" singular, they have different conjugations. For usted you need the 3rd person singular, as in he/she.

Here is a lesson that explains the difference clearly. Have a look here.

I hope it's useful.

Saludos

I think that since it is in a formal form, then it’s conjunction is in 3rd body form
