Is it bad that my fementing green beans are cloudy?

They are on about day 4. I carefully used the correct brine salinity, from JoP. They don't have a layer of yeast on top. Temperature has been around 65.

I'd hate to lose them, as I think they are the last of my crop this year.

I am not a pickle expert but I would let them stay in frig for a while. The dark cloudy sediment should settle at the bottom. All pickles do get cloudy. It depends on the material.

Cloudiness is natural for fermentation, as long as you don't detect mold, the smell remains fresh and there are no signs of decay in the beans.
