Since Royal Ann cherries are a light colored fruit they show every mark and blemish that has occurred. Wind, during the ripening process will cause bruising and discoloration. As cherries ripen, these bruises become apparent as a brown discoloration. There is little that can be done about this and no sprays that will protect your fruit.
