I've usually seen the "namespace" or "struct "approach, eg:

namespace CheckerBoardColor
// or struct CheckerBoardColor
{
     enum Enumeration
     {
         Red,
         Black,
     };
};

This allows using "CheckerBoardColor::Red", which (IMO) is nice 
and verbose. you can use "using CheckerBoardColor" for the 
equivalent of "with" (namespace only).

Unfortunatly, the actual enum "type" is 
"CheckerBoardColor::Enumeration", which is strangely verbose.
