Think of the colloidal particles as beach balls.
Think of the solution as a crowd of people.
If you toss the beach balls into a crowd of people, they can keep them from falling to the ground by repeatedly hitting them back into the air.
The collisions due to Brownian motion actually help keep the colloid particles suspended. Each time one is hit, it gets a bit of kinetic energy to keep it moving.

Brownian action (named in honor of the botanist Robert Brown) is the random pass of debris suspended in a liquid or gasoline or the mathematical kind used to describe such random strikes, frequently stated as a particle concept. The brownian action in colloids happens simply by them being repelled by ability of debris in the colloid with a similar value.
