Take middle of the range, better than nothing.

A search on Google Scholar:
http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&lr=&q=%22bromocresol+green+%28pKa%22

Shows that this article:
Tajima et al., 1998. Dyes and Pigments. 39 (2), 97-109.

cites the pKa as 4.68
Therefore the Ka is 10-4.68 = 2.09 × 10-5
