Colloids and precipitates are not really similar at all. Precipitates have already come out of solution and have separated from their solvent. The `particles` of colloids, on the other hand are still dispersed in liquid and do not settle out or precipitate. The difference between the two lies in their particle sizes. Precipitating particles are large enough to be more strongly affected by gravity than by the forces attempting to keep them suspended i.e. the collisions of other particles in the mixture/solution. Particles in a colloidal dispersion, however, are small enough for gravity to be less effective at causing deposition than the many collisions with molecules of the dispersing medium are at keeping them `afloat` - that is dispersed.
