Please check the playground link. String enums are just regular objects. You can see in the output of the Playground. typescriptlang.org/play?#code/KYOw...
As far as I know, there isn't an advantage technically. But I prefer union types because enum is not an ECMAScript's standard syntax.
After transpilation, output code with a tuple and an object is similar to the original TS code, but output code with enum is different from the original TS code a lot.
I think a big value of TypeScript is the mindset; it is a superset of ECMAScript. So I don't want to use enum.
I hear what you're saying! But that's similar to buying a bigger car and never putting anything in the extra space because it wasn't available in your standard car.
I think that the choice of adopting Typescript as a language comes with the acceptance of a build step, the outcome of which is up to the compiler.

What is advantage between this and a string enum?
String enums are transformed to regular objects, so you could access them as
Colors.blue, just like in your example.I had an example just now :D
