Reading enum from cin

Thanks!!
I realized that the friends are not part of the class and after moving the friend function on top of the classes it started to work.

Also i have a question how do i read an enum value from cin

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

enum C {
 red,blue,green
};


int main () {
 C color;
 cin >> color;
 cout << color;
 return(0);
}

Code:

Compilation Error : 
 error: no match for 'operator>>' in 'std::cin >> color'

Please help me to get this working?

Thanks
