They are not ripe yet but they are close. They are blacker when ripe. The rub is the longer you wait the more of your crop gets stolen and damaged. If your eating them in pie slightly green fruit is ok. Most people eat them to early because they pick them light red but they are a black cherry. Remember the photo they released comparing the romance cherry types.
This is a bowl i picked years ago

The light red ones in the bowl are just a little riper than yours now. Since they dont all ripen perfectly the same at once when the majority are darker colored i start picking and pick some lighter colored red ones in the same bowl. You can compare the color now in both photos and then based on pressure decide when to pick. As they darken they attract more attention of birds and other thieves who look for darker fruit. Only you know your situation. Rain will crack the cherries also. On the flip side the longer you wait the better they taste! My cherries still have a ways to go!
