Dyck paths on colored lattices

Fried recently enumerated Dyck paths having equally many black and white cells below them, for the chessboard coloring (Narayana numbers) and the column-alternating coloring (Fuss--Catalan numbers).

We prove a generalization here: for the coloring of columns modulo any $c\ge2$, the number of Dyck paths of semilength $n$ whose $c$ residue classes carry equal weight is the Raney number $\Raney_{c+1,r}(m)$, where $n=cm+r-1$.
