TypeScript Version: 2.4.0

Code

enum Colors {
    Red = "RED",
    Green = "GREEN",
    Blue = "BLUE",
}

const c1: Colors = Colors.Red;
const c2: Colors = "RED";

Expected behavior:

I'd expect both lines with c1 and c2 to work but only the first compiles.

Actual behavior:

[ts] Type '"RED"' is not assignable to type 'Colors'.
const c2: Colors
