My problem is since an enum in objective-c essentially is an int value, I am not able to store it in a NSMutableArray. Apparently NSMutableArray won't take any c-date types like an int.

Is there any common way to achieve this ?

typedef enum 
{
    green,
    blue,
    red

} MyColors;


NSMutableArray *list = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithObjects:
                             green,
                             blue,
                             red,
                             nil];

//Get enum value back out
MyColors greenColor = [list objectAtIndex:0];
