It depends on the clear stuff, really. Have you ever noticed the greenish edge to a window pane or a car window? That’s its true color.

Typically, clear glass allows visible light to pass through it at a fourth of an inch thickness. The edges aren’t see through since the angle at which they sit is relative to the rest of the glass make. This makes the edge very thick and hence, not see through.
