Here's my meager contribution to the cause:
Transparent colors:
40 Transparent
Pretty easy, it's colorless and you can see through it.
41 Tr. Red
Spybotics Snaptrax, Darth Vader's lightsaber blade, Blacktron, etc. (dark
blood red)
42 Tr. Lg blue
Kohrak eyes, Luke apprentice/Anakin lightsaber blades (more of a
trans-cyan, looks like it could be flourescent, but does not glow under
blacklight)
43 Tr. Blue
Spybotics Gigamesh, Futuron (very dark blue)
44 Tr. Yellow
Blacktron, classic Space (traditional yellow)
47 Tr. Flu. Reddish orange
Ice Planet 2002 skis and chainsaws (only transparent orange shade, glows
bright orange under blacklight)
48 Tr. Green
Spybotics Technojaw, Space Police II, Castle dragon flame used for seaweed
fronds (very dark green)
49 Tr. Flu. Green
Luke Jedi lightsaber blade, Blacktron II (glows bright yellowish-green
under blacklight)
111 Tr. Brown
Evidentally what is commonly referred to as "smoke" or "trans-black", since
I can't find any evidence of an actual brown transparent shade, or a listing for
a grey transparent shade (medium grey)
113 Tr. Medi. reddish violet
Spybotics Shadowstrike, "Mace Windu lightsaber blade" from HP sets (looks
close to basic purple)
126 Tr. Bright bluish violet
Swirly-magic 4x radar dish from Dumbledore's Office (looks nearly blue)
143 Tr. Flu. Blue
Kopaka/Nuju eyes and High Flyers mini-cockpit (glows bright blue under
blacklight)
157 Tr. Flu. Yellow
Bionicle Gali/Nokama eyes, Misprint Kaukau (more amber than yellow, glows
bright yellow under blacklight)
158 Tr. Flu. Red
Bionicle Tahu/Vakama eyes (I can't recall ever seeing this color anywhere
else, but it's vaguely pinkish and glows bright white w/ a hint of pink under
blacklight)

ok, what is "Neon orange" and how does it differ from "Tr. Flu. Reddish
orange"?

My guess is that "Neon Orange" is an opaque color, since it does not
include the "Tr." qualifier. I'd also guess that it does not actually glow
under blacklight, as it is listed as "Neon" instead of "Flourescent" (i.e. it's
probably just a really bright orange). I was able to positively identify 14
different transparent colors used between System and Technic (Clikits, I just
realized, uses at least two more transparent shades, as neither the trans-orange
nor trans-pink are glow under blacklight like the Toa eyepieces that are closest
in color), and I was able to find 14 entries that began with the letters "TR"
(including "transparent"), so I'm reasonably certain that there aren't any
others in use for the main lines. The annoying thing is that Tr. Light Blue
looks very similar to Tr. Flu. Blue, and Tr. Flu. Red looks very close to Tr.
Flu. Reddish Orange. The easiest way to identify them (regardless of whether
you have samples of both or not) is to shine a blacklight flourescent tube on
them (don't waste your money on incandescent blacklight bulbs).

"trans-peach" is what I called this one.

"trans-salmon"
BL didn't have names for these colors, so I had to ad-lib.

8525 (just the eyes) and 8530 (both eyes and the misprint Kaukau), but not
8569. That was just basic Krana and the gold/silver colored Toa Kanohi.

They both glow very brightly under blacklight, which seems to match up
perfectly with the use of the "Flu." qualifier. Well, unless you start looking
at packaging. Transparent LEGO pieces don't glow under blacklight, but
transparent Bionicle pods do. Anyways, I knew the Tahu eyes were different than
the trans-red Kaukau, but I don't think I really noticed the difference between
the Tr. Yellow and Tr. Flu. Yellow until I built Blacktronicle and combined both
colors in the same model.
