I rather like the hair color - bald analogy though.
I know transparency is an attribute of a color, so it doesn't exactly work well. Oh well, no points for me.
Opacity is not an attribute of color. It is an attribute of extinction of the optical wavelength. Color is not dependent of opacity, only your perception of it.
Technically, extinction is a function of distance and scattering.
