Strong colorings are everywhere - they can be obtained from analysis of basis problems, transfinite diagonalizations, oscillations, or walks on ordinals. They give rise to interesting topological spaces and partial orders.

In this talk, I'll be looking at all aspects mentioned above, reporting on findings from my joint projects with Kojman, Lambie-Hanson, Inamdar, Steprans and Zhang.
