Is there a way to change the font color, not the size, of subtitles in totem movie player?
I would like to change the color to some kind of yellow so there is more contrast between the movie and the subtitles.

In Totem go to: Edit → Preferences and here you can set font and size.
Setting them to size 1 is not a great solution, but setting them to size zero works!
You have to do it via gsettings though, the GUI will not allow size zero. Use the following command:
gsettings set org.gnome.totem subtitle-font '[whatever your font is here], 0'
You can turn them off for the current video in the menu, but every time you start a new video they come back. As far as I can tell, this is the only way to set no subtitles as a default.
Best Answer
No, I don't think so. Totem uses the "Pango" font description in order to specify the font to be used in the subtitles, and Pango doesn't include color as a parameter. The values you may change are "[FAMILY-LIST] [STYLE-OPTIONS] [SIZE]". Please check https://developer.gnome.org/pygtk/stable/class-pangofontdescription.html. Valid representations are: "sans bold 12", "serif,monospace bold italic condensed 16", or "normal 10". I use stock Totem in Ubuntu Gnome version 16.04.4, but since Totem has been rewritten or rebuilt with different names and frontends, I couldn't tell about other versions or spins.
