The file without the transparency is using the salesmanager on the legend. Using a column as legend to differentiate the different areas (meaning different colors) have no transparency.

r/PowerBI on Reddit: Filled Map Has Random Transparency Within Color Groups
December 19, 2023 -
My filled map is made up of many zips which make up regions. Each region should have the exact same color. The zip codes have varying transparency across the filled map. I have a many to many relationship between a sheet with my color data and a sheet with my zip data using my region code as a key. I found this thread where someone had a similar problem but was unable to use the solution as I am not using a legend, just conditional coloring.
The transparency issue persists even if I set it to use default coloring:
I have also tried to include the county and city with the zip in the location field and that also did not solve the problem.
I can't upload the project publicly.
Thank you for helping, I am trying to move from Tableu to BI.

First thing to check - have you got any data for the county/city in the measure you're using to colour the map? Don't look at the data tables directly, as it may be an issue with the way relationships are set up, or key fields. Copy your visual, change it to a matrix or table visual, and then look for the data there.
