+## User-defined types as parameters
+
+As mentioned up above, the compiler looks for a given instance of the
+`scala.util.CommandLineParser.FromString` typeclass for the type of the
+argument. For example, let's say you have a custom `Color` type that you want to
+use as a parameter. You would do this like you see below:
+
+{% tabs method_3 %}
+{% tab 'Scala 3 Only' for=method_3 %}
+
+```scala
+enum Color:
+  case Red, Green, Blue
+
+given ComamndLineParser.FromString[Color] with
+  def fromString(value: String): Color = Color.valueOf(value)
+
+@main def run(color: Color): Unit =
+  println(s"The color is ${color.toString}")
+```
+
+{% endtab %}
+{% endtabs %}
+
+This works the same for your own user types in your program as well as types you
+might be using from another library.
+
 ## The details
 
 The Scala compiler generates a program from an `@main` method `f` as follows:
