Rome moving its capital to Constantinople. You might also consider Alexander, though I don't know if that satisfies the "colonizing" criterion. AFAIK neither he nor his successors tried to rule his conquests from Macedon.

You might count Free France from 1940–1944:
Capital:
- Brazzaville (1940–1943)
- Algiers (1943–1944)
- London (Seat of the French National Committee)
Like Byzantium, Trier was colonised by the Romans and then made a capital for a time. Speaking of Byzantium, that city had such an honour again, when the Ottomans made it Constantinople.
The Yuan dynasty of the Mongols and later the Qing dynasty might be described as colonising China and shifting their capitals.
During the War of the Fourth Coalition Königsberg was the capital of Prussia for as long as Napoleon's troops occupied Berlin.
