For one thing, there should be no quotes around Subscript[f,RF]. It 
should be Style[Subscript[f, RF], not Style["Subscript[f, RF]". To get 
rid of the single-letter italics, try StandardForm.

ListPlot[Table[Random[], {10}],
  AxesLabel -> {Style[StandardForm[Subscript[f, RF]],
     FontColor -> Red], Style["y-axis", FontColor -> Red]}]

I don't know what the issue is with the color; it works for me (WinXP).
