There were several color sets before T206. These include:

1888 N-162 Goodwin Champions
1888 N-28 Allen & Ginter
1894 N-142 Duke Cabinets

There were quite a few others, too, but these are the ones that immediately come to mind. Each of these sets has some great players, including Hall of Famers.

T-206 was probably the first color set that featured nearly every player in the majors. The sets I've listed above were all small (4-8 baseball players, plus players from other sports).
