You don't need to add anything, you just need to use list notation correctly. Try typing [Red, Black, White] in at the prompt instead. The commas are part of the list syntax.

What do I need to add to this Color enum type to print a list of them?

===============


data Color

    = Red

    | Blue

    | Green

    | Yellow

    | Orange

    | Brown

    | White

    | Black



instance Show Color where

    show Red   = "Red"

    show Blue  = "Blue"

    show Green = "Green"

    show Yellow = "Yellow"

    show Orange = "Orange"

    show Brown = "Brown"

    show White = "White"

    show Black = "Black"

======================


Ok, modules loaded: Main.
*Main> Red
Red
*Main> Black
Black
*Main> [Red Black White]

<interactive>:1:1:
    Couldn't match expected type `Color -> Color -> t'
           against inferred type `Color'

    In the expression: Red Black White
    In the expression: [Red Black White]
    In the definition of `it': it = [Red Black White]
