Start by telling the format of the subtitles and what program is used for playing the video.

I'm not a MAC user so I'm afraid the only way I can think of is somewhat cumbersome.
If you don't already have it install MKVToolnix. Assuming your video has a video-, audio- and subtitle track extract the idx/vobsub with
Code:mkvextract tracks color.mkv 2:test.srt

Else you need to edit the color palette

This may involve some trial and error. The color palette has 16 entries of which 4 is used in the subtitle: BG Background (often transparent), TXT (which I ussume is the one you want to change), OUT outline often black, ANT antialiasing often grey if used.

Unfortunately there are no rules for how these colors are mapped to the palette but it is most often the first 4 entries.
If you have access to a Windows PC you could use BDSup2Sub++ to visually edit the colors in the idx/vobsub.
After editing mux the video with the new idx/vobsub using MKVToolnix GUI.
