opaques
Makes things opaque
Opaques are materials or substances that block light from passing through.
In photography and design, opaques are paints or liquids used to block out portions of negatives or artwork: She used opaques to mask the background.
The term also appears in fashion for non-sheer hosiery or fabrics that completely conceal what's underneath.
