It is not clear what this tunic was like, because the meaning of the Hebrew word that describes it is uncertain. The idea that it was a coat of many colors comes from the Greek translation of the OT. An examination of cognate terms in Semitic suggests it was either a coat or tunic with long sleeves (cf. NEB, NRSV), or a tunic that was richly embroidered (cf. NIV). It set Joseph apart as the favored one. Biblical Studies Press. (2006). The NET Bible First Edition Notes (Ge 37:3) The long robe with sleeves (v. 3; see note b) is a royal garment (2 Sam 13.18–19) anticipating Joseph’s future status.

Archaeological evidence of dyeing is scarce. A textile fragment from Nahal Mishmar from c.3500 BC appears to have been dyed red (Bar-Adon 1980), but neither the context nor the date of this fragment is clear (Good 1999). Red-colored cloth was found in the Royal Cemetery at Ur c.2400 BC (Woolley 1934 ; Barber 1991). The earliest written evidence of textile dyeing (as distinct from applying pigment as a paint to a textile) comes from early Old Babylonian texts (c.2000 – 1900 BC) and is roughly contemporary with dye vats at sites of the Indus civilization (Forbes 1964). Plant-derived red, brown, and yellow dyes are attested in 18th Dynasty Egypt (c.1550 – 1292 BC). By 1500 BC the Phoenicians had discovered that they could dye purple using murex (Muricidae) shells, and by 1000 – 700 BC the Chinese were using indigo from Polygonum tinctorium, according to Western Zhou sources (Zhang et al. 2008 : 1101, with refs). Evidence from Chärchän in Xinjiang demonstrates a full palette of primary colors c.1000 BC (Zhang et al. 2008).

It's one of those places where the Hebrew is confusing. The phrase kət̲ōnet̲ passîm can mean "coat of many colours" or "long robe with sleeves" (the phrase is also used in 2 Samuel 13:18). The translators of the Septuagint, 2300 years ago, thought the Hebrew meant "coat of many colours" (χιτῶνα ποικίλον), and many translations follow this. If "coat of many colours" is correct, it would have been woven with wool dyed with plant dyes. I'm not sure what dyes they would have had, but they would not have been as vibrant as modern dyes.

Other people commented how we as viewers were irritated that Gabriel was leading the contestants toward Chris’s father, and instead, everyone else was all “no, what are you talking about?” Gabriel was handing them clues toward Chris’s dad.
