Answered by Dr Russ
A colloid is a mixture in which finely divided particles are dispersed within a continuous medium so that the mixture can not be filtered easily or settled rapidly.

A water/oil mixture (milk) is an example of a liquid in liquid colloid. An example of a gas in liquid colloid is a whipped egg white.

There are some further examples here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colloid

which also shows how colloids are classified further.
