The palette is in the .ifo file, which you are missing - which probably
is also the reason why the subtitles are black in the first place, I've
never seen anyone using black subtitles even if it is possible.
If the .vob is all you have you'd have to create a .ifo yourself, the
info needed for that is not in the vob.
