Here is an example of an incorrect colon:
"Some common misconceptions are: a, b and c."
Just a space, please. It's the same thing with "include":
"Some common misconceptions include: a, b and c."
And definitely don't use a semicolon there!

I think colon is not supposed to be use after a verb.
In British English, I think they switch the use of colon with a semi-colon. At least, that's how I interpret when I come across the "error."
