    Summary: We introduce Fuß-Catalan complexes as \(d\)-dimensional generalisations of triangulations of a convex polygon. These complexes are used to refine Catalan numbers and Fuß-Catalan numbers, by introducing colour statistics for triangulations and Fuß-Catalan complexes. Our refinements consist in showing that the number of triangulations, respectively of Fuß-Catalan complexes, with a given colour distribution of its vertices is given by closed product formulae. The crucial ingredient in the proof is the Lagrange-Good inversion formula.
