Some painted cabinets are transparent - why?

Edit that material's properties.  Currently the transparency is 12%.

 

ps: I prefer to assign the color in the cabinet dbx rather than using the "Paint" tool.  It provides much better results

That's interesting. I've never done it that way. What is the advantage? While I haven't looked side by side, my color in the dbx box shows the correct color that I painted it with.

Using "Paint" adds extra words to the material finish.  Depending on the underlying material and other settings, it can result in a blending of the colors.  Using the dbx actually results in a replacement rather than an extra - and as you see in your plan, a potential for unexpected results.

Only if you use the blender option (paint roller) using the material painter places the color.

I checked the color from the BM catalog and it is fine OOB, so not an X9 thing. Must be some other cause for the transparency.
