Lots of opinions here, but let's look to a higher authority. According to the _[Chicago Manual of Style](https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/book/ed17/part2/ch06/psec063.html)_, the word after a colon is lowercase, even if it starts a complete sentence, unless it's a proper noun. The exception is when the colon introduces multiple sentences or when it introduces speech.
