In the UK and Canada, it rhymes with "pollen", but in the US it seems to be "coal-in", as a previous person noted.

In English, the correct pronunciation is "Coll-en", period. American "Coal-in" is a mispronunciation of the name. "Colin" in Colin Powell's name should be pronounced Coll-en because he has Jamaican parents, and this is how its pronounced in Jamaica. In fact America is the only English speaking nation that uses "Coal-in." My name's been Colin for over fifty years, and Americans are the only folks that have ever mispronounced my name.

Colin Powell pronounces it as:
COAL-IN
