How does Joseph's coat of many colors symbolize Christ's righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

Joseph's coat symbolizes the righteousness of Christ, which believers are clothed in by God's grace.

The coat of many colors that Jacob gave to Joseph is emblematic of the various virtues and graces that marked Joseph’s character, as well as a shadow of Christ’s perfect righteousness. Just as Joseph was distinguished from his brothers by the coat, believers are distinguished by being clothed in the righteousness of Christ. This divine clothing is not something we earn but is given freely by God's grace. The righteousness of Christ covers our sins, making us acceptable in the sight of God. Through faith, we are wrapped in this garment of salvation, assuring us of our standing before Him.
