How to use or resolve enum types with graphql-tools?

Question

I cannot find anywhere in the graphql-tools documentation how one should go about utilizing enum types in schemas that are fed to makeExecutableSchema. Anyone have a clue how this done?

Example code:

enum Color {
  RED
  GREEN
  BLUE
}

type Car {
  color: Color!
}

What would the resolver for Color look like?

By default, the enum is represented with the same string : enum Color { RED } is 'RED'. You can override this by adding a resolver to the enum:

Color: {
  RED: '#ff0000',
  GREEN: '#00ff00'
},
Query {...
