Actually he did use the color system earlier on in his life. Mary Alinder found some of his old color negatives and she asked Ansel if she could produce them and he agreed, but after producing a couple pictures with her husband, Ansel ordered them to stop.
Adams did a lot of color work. He was a consultant for Kodak and Polaroid and tested color materials for both. He also did a lot of commercial work to support himself. He was very old before his black and white fine art work began making him much money. Check out the book, Ansel Adams in Color.
