No sarcasm, do they not look dark to anyone else?

No sarcasm, do they not look overly colourful to anyone else?

Well they were took just before sundown, dusk, whatever you call it which may have something to do with it.
They look fine on my laptop however on work pc with older monitor look really dark.

have you darkened the shadows in an attempt to add contrast to the clouds?

Very dark IMO

Looks underexposed to me. Looks like the lens should have been opened up because of the sun.

They look a little underexposed on my (calibrated) screen.

Yeah they've been processed in Lightroom but they look fine on my screen.The brightness is only 3/10.

Rock hard to get the levels right on clouds.. the contrast range can break the rest of the image. Looks like it has made everything none-cloud much darker then it should be in your instance.

You could use filters on the shot, or (if you're that way inclined) HDR...

if you wanna just darken the clouds then just use the gradual tool.
