Think about it guys.Woven or knitted shade cloth lets light through the "pores"...not through the material itself.The light that comes through is the same light as the light that hits the top of the shade cloth,just less of it.

Tinting a solid transparent surface(corrugated fiberglass perhaps)is a different story.The color of that material would make a greater difference on the wavelengths reaching the plant.
