Subject: comparing enums with == vs. equals()

Is it safe to use the == operator instead of the equals() method 
to inspect a parsed document containing enumerated simpleTypes ?

if (myXmlObject.getColor().equals(Color.BLUE))
{
   if (myXmlObject.getColor() == Color.BLUE)
   {
      System.out.println("equal and ==");
   }
   else
   {
      System.out.println("equal but not ==");
   }  
}
