this is what i've noticed:
 - when using normal txt subtitles (.sub,.srt) i can change color with
-ass-color and -ass-border-color options
 - when using .ssa subtitles, using -ass option makes mplayer reading
the font properties from .ssa file, but it disregards -ass-color and
-ass-border-color options; without -ass option, subtitles are white.

so, if you want to have colored subtitles, either use .sub, .srt...
with -ass -ass-color and -ass-border-color, or use .ssa subtitles with
-ass and change the color in .ssa file.
