"Opaque" and "transparent" refer to the amount of light that passes through the colour, not the colour itself.
"Opaque" is a term used to describe any solid colour that light does not pass through.
If you put an opaque colour it over another colour you will not see the colour below through it.
"Transparent" is a term used to describe any colour that light passes through in any of many varying degrees.
If you paint a transparent colour over another colour, you will be able, to some degree, to see the colour(s) and the ground (paper, canvas, whatever you are painting on) through the top coat.
