I'm not sure why, but I found the trouble with green and conflicting standards very amusing, a very familiar kind of problem. Since WebVTT doesn't have any dedicated syntax for colors it really comes down to the CSS that goes along with the captions, and of course any mapping specs. Unfortunately, I suspect you will not be the last to spend time looking for a suitable green color. Did you ever hear back from the BBC about which the ultimate colors are? I doubt that #00FF00 is actually used on the Web, it's so bright! Somewhat on topic, if you're making new captions, you might consider using WebVTT's voice tag, with which you can annotate the speaker and then style the speaker more explicitly. This is the second example in http://dev.w3.org/html5/webvtt/#other-features Philip
