I received this sentence in the adjectives lesson, teaching muda. This is a really bad sentence to use for first learning muda.

I don't understand.
Why is it bad ?
The sentence itself is fine, I just don't think it's a good sentence for first learning that muda = young. I know that you use muda to turn any color into a light version of that color, but when first learning the word muda, it would be more straightforward if the English sentence contained the word "young".
Okay, now I undertstand.
You're right, something straightforward like : "Kamu muda", "Adikku muda", "Anjingmu muda"...
Since an earlier lesson on colours contained "muda merah", i think they were using it to sort of draw parallels.
If it hadn't been used in an earlier (possibly mandatory?) lesson, i would fully agree with what you are saying.
That would be "Jaket itu merah muda." Note that the determiner is placed after the adjective in the original sentence.
