I don't know much about this but I remember reading something about pickles darkening. I think that maybe you need to use pickling salt because it does not contain Iodine which can make pickles darken.

I am not positive about this but I think that's what it said. I know that when I make sauerkraut I always use pickling salt and that it will not ferment properly with table salt.
