VT220 was monochrome, too. You needed to go to the VT241 before you got color in the DEC terminal range (and even it didn't support color text via the SGR sequence (CSI m), according to the manual -- even the VT510 manual doesn't document colored text via SGR.)
MS-DOS ANSI.SYS definitely only had one attribute at any time; new lines was filled in with the current attribute.
