We consider finite graphs whose edges are labeled with elements, called colors, taken from a fixed finite alphabet. We study the problem of determining whether there is an infinite path where either (i) all colors occur with a fixed asymptotic frequency, (ii) there is a constant that bounds the difference between the occurrences of any two colors for all prefixes of the path. These properties c...
