Put the following in your preamble after having loaded biblatex

renewcommand{labelnamepunct}{addcolonspace}

(This is better than renewcommand{labelnamepunct}{:addspace}, as remarked by domwass.)

---

Update

The labelnamepunct command is currently deprecated and the context dependent

DeclareDelimFormat[bib]{nametitledelim}{addcolonspace} 

should be used. However, old styles may still be using labelnamepunct, so the original answer has been kept. (Thanks to moewe for recalling to update.)

  It would be better to use renewcommand{labelnamepunct}{addcolonspace}, because then unintended whitespace before the colon will be deleted.

  This works with verbose style as well. Question: The labelnamepunct will only be executed after the author entry and nowhere else?

  @doncherry biblatex defines many "punct" commands, so I guess this is specialized for that purpose.

  Starting from version 3.4 one can also use the new interface: DeclareDelimFormat[bib]{nametitledelim}{addcolonspace}. The redefinition of labelnamepunct still works as the default is DeclareDelimFormat[bib]{nametitledelim}{labelnamepunct}.
