States between Transparent, Translucent and Opaque
I started creating a color palette for a side project and I was thinking what words would fit the best to describe alpha (transparency) of color.
Imagine we have 0 for totally clear (every light passes through) and 7 for absolutely opaque (nothing passes through). 4 can be translucent, 6 could be hazy or foggy.
How would you name states between Transparent > Translucent > Opaque?

If a modestly technical classification is needed it's generally the case to assign some numerical value to the "degree" of transparency.
