@Lara-Marie they are similar and sometimes used in the same way. The difference is not very big, but "associate" is more likely to be used when people work together at the same job or organization. "Colleague" is often used for people in the same field of work or study, but not necessarily by people at the same job or company. Both terms are respectful, but in my experience, " colleague" is a term of great respect, often used by professors and researchers.
