I thought it was an interesting game... should white take my bishop at move 4? Was I right to play 6...C5 before Bb4?

interesting system, I would be more than happy to let you try it on me😛

The game wasn't really a Colle System. A distinctive characteristic of the Colle System is that White doesn't play c2-c4 in the opening. Your game was techincally a Catalan Opening (by transposition).
