When quoting from the Qur'an, do I actually say the word "colon" to separate the chapter and verse? Or do I just pause between the chapter and verse?

The use of the colon ":" character is simply a presentation style to make it easy to differentiate between the chapter's sequential number in the Qur'an and the specific verse within it. So when speaking it you can simply say, for instance, 'five, sixty-seven' when referring to 5:67.
