Well they are the same thing because a solution is a type of mixture. If there had to be a difference a colloid solution is when particles are mixed as a colloid in water but a colloid mixture could be anything: a gas colloid, a liquid colloid or a solid colloid. Or any of those three mixed together! It is complicated but basically the difference is that one is particles spread thought mixture and one isn't. Hope it helps :)
One difference is the size of particles: in a solution, particles are uniformly dispersed at a molecular level, whereas in a colloid, particles are larger and dispersed throughout the mixture but do not settle out.
suspension
Urea solution is not a colloid because it is a homogeneous mixture where the urea molecules are uniformly dissolved in the solvent, usually water. In a colloid, the particles are not dissolved but are suspended within the solvent, resulting in a heterogeneous mixture.
Colloid is not a true solution they both differ from each other. Colloid is a kind of solution that scatters a beam of light passing through it and renders it path visible while a True solution is a kind of solution that scatters a beam of light passing through it and renders it path visible .
Solution
A colloid.

A colloid is not a single compound; it is a mixture with properties between those of a solution and fine suspension.
Use the Tyndall Effect shine a light through it. If the light is scattered then it is colloidal. Both colloids and suspensions are heterogeneous. A solution will not show the beam through it's substance but the colloid will. The particles in the suspension will eventually settle at the bottom, showing that it is NOT a solution.
suspension
No, gelatin is a colloid gel.
No. A colloid is a heterogeneous mixture.
Suspension
A colloid is a mixture that appears to be a solution but it is actually a mechanical mixture. Two examples of a colloid are : MILK and STARCH DISSOLVED IN WATER.
Hot chocolate is a colloid. It is a mixture where small particles of chocolate or cocoa are dispersed throughout a liquid (milk or water) to form a stable mixture.
Yes, mouthwash is a colloid. It is a liquid mixture containing suspended particles that do not settle out.
Urea solution is not a colloid because it is a homogeneous mixture where the urea molecules are uniformly dissolved in the solvent, usually water. In a colloid, the particles are not dissolved but are suspended within the solvent, resulting in a heterogeneous mixture.
