3D Solutech natural clear PLA has a clean look however that can change drastically depending on how you print with it. I have some prints that a translucent white, some that are yellowish (0.3mm height), and some that appear clear. There is a layer height tower in the images below to test transparency. The tower is comprised of 3 panels from left to right, 5 lines thick, 1 line thick, and 3 lines thick. The tower is also divided into layer heights from bottom to top the layer heights are 0.10mm, 0.15mm, 0.20mm, 0.25mm. You can see a single line with a thick layer is the most transparent.
3D Solutech is a quality made in USA filament. They have a wide selection and are budget friendly. 3D Solutech is a great source for transparent, silk (called Ultra), and normal filaments. I only had one bad roll and they replaced it very quickly without hesitation. A bad roll can happen to anyone. 3D Solutech is sold in 1KG sizes on plastic spools. They also include stickers with their rolls.
