Simulated mate finding by random encounter

Is there a statistical approach that enables simulation of the random production of perfect matches (random encounter of identical types) vs. time for a large, continously mixing population containing multiple types (eg. marbles of, say, 10 different colors) and each type has a unique, known frequency? During each trial (or timepoint), every element in the population would be required to randomly encounter another element.
