Grey subs

[Acid-Burn]

I know I have had a topic on this matter once before.
I started using DVDSubEdit as recommended, the only problem is, every once in a while a movie comes along that appearently demands grey subs, nomatter what I do, they turn out grey and all I want is white subs with black borders.
So I turn off transparency or set it at 15 and do them as "Use automatic clut" and save those settings.

I tried a redo and MKVMerge but still grey subs, why is the program that interested in grey subs, nobody wants an unreadable color?
Forgot, it's done in VSRip.

If it requires a manually edit of the IDX, then it's ok, I just don't know how to do that.

# The original palette of the DVD
palette: d03907, 000000, 0200ca, ffffff, e0bdd7, b7d2dd, b8e0bc, e1ff18, d414c9, d9ab10, 8400cf, 12bc86, 000070, 9668a0, 92b06d, 713638

# Custom colors (transp idxs and the four colors)
custom colors: OFF, tridx: 0000, colors: 000000, 000000, 000000, 000000

Hope somebody can help.

TIA


Edit
I ran MKVmerge, de-selecting the subtitles and played it loading the IDX externally and it worked perfectly. I then remuxed the subs into the MKV and it was back to grey. Does VLC player have a bug?

Hi!

If it's the .1. you're wondering about. The original HDC file was named My.best.friends.girl.2008.x264.DD.Nordic.mkv but since I had to run MKVMerge because of the grey subs, I simply put in a .1. on the first remux and the second remux was also .1. without any subs and I even have a .2. if you're still wondering.
Since I have deleted the working folder with the .x264 file and .ac3, I can't delete the original MKV file, as I would have to do the entire DVD over again and that would a pretty stupid way to spend my computers time as it takes roughly 3 hours to convert.

If it's the entire filename you're concerned about. My NAS has a 1 TB storage and to name every DVD -> MKV conversion the same, would leave quite a mess.

So did you have a solution for the grey subs?
