convert type using string with switch error

trying to allow user input to determine a case selection. Obv some error with string conversion.

Code:

---


using System;

public enum Color { Red, Green, Blue }

public class Example
{
  public static void Main()
  {
              Console.WriteLine("Type in a string");
            string input;
            input = Console.ReadLine();
      switch (input)
      {
        case Color.Red:
            Console.WriteLine("red");
            break;
        case Color.Green:
            Console.WriteLine("blue");
            break;
        case Color.Blue:
            Console.WriteLine("green"); 
            break;
        default:
            Console.WriteLine("The color is unknown.");
            break; 
      }
      Console.ReadKey(true);
  }
}

There's no implicit conversion here for things like this. How are you expecting a string to be translated to the enum type? You need to parse the input to the enum type if you want this to work.
