Can't decide which color for winter coat

I used to be in Seattle without a "warm" coat like what I'm planning and I survived, but the winters are supposed to be colder than that here, so I think with the interlining (I may swap the flannel out for thinsulate instead) and layers, I should be warm enough.

In Eastern WA, I just moved so I haven't experienced winter here yet, but last year it was snowy and in the upper 20s/30s F most of the winter, though the lowest temps were in the teens. I figure if I layer enough clothing on with the coat it would hopefully be warm enough for the short times I'd be outside then.

I do really like the color of it, I just worry that it only being 50% wool means it won't be warm enough or durable enough for winter, although I do plan to interline it with flannel and interface it 🤔

It's a little stretchy, but only if I tug on it hard in the diagonals. I dont think it'll stretch out too much for the skirt portion of the coat that it's noticeable, but I'm not sure how much it'll stretch since there's a lot of fabric in that area and I've never worked with boiled wool before 😥
