A dispersed phase is formed by a solute-like component or colloidal particles in a colloid.
A dispersion medium on the other hand, is the medium in which the dispersed phase (solute) is suspended in a solvent.

Dispersion Medium | Solid | Solid sol Coloured gemstone, ruby glass | Gel Cheese, jelly | Foam Sponge foam, rubber |
