IF you use LIGHT response as a measure of different kinds of material, there are only THREE types

Opaque = Light cannot penetrate, or bounce from the material well.

Variations on this include only certain KINDS of light can penetrate it.

IE UV glass that passes Optical light, forbids UV light.

Translucent = Allows the majority of light to pass through.

glass is the obvious example, and cloudiness or coloration is the obvious exception.

Refractive = Any material that allows SOME light to pass through, but alters it's direction, often in different responses to the FREQUENCY of the light it encounters.

OF COURSE, many materials exhibit all three properties to some degree
