Why is the coat of many colors significant in the story of Joseph?

Answered in 1 source

The coat signifies Joseph's unique status and foreshadows Christ's righteousness.

The coat of many colors, made by Jacob for Joseph, symbolizes the special love and favor of the Father towards His beloved son. In a similar manner, it represents the righteousness of Christ, distinguishing Him from all others. Just as Jacob's affection for Joseph was expressed through this garment, God’s love for His son Jesus is similarly demonstrated through His perfect righteousness. This coat becomes a focal point of envy for Joseph’s brothers, which foreshadows the rejection and hatred that Christ would face from humanity despite His holiness.
