RTFM. Specifically, you want to read about the -sub-bg-colors and
-sub-bg-alpha options. (Something tells me there's a third option which
is more closely related, but I'm not finding it offhand.)

Note that these two simply allow you to make the subtitles use shades of
some other color than black; multicolor subtitles are apparently not
possible without an extensive redesign.
