Abstract
In this chapter, I engage with recent attempts in the literature to formulate versions of naïve realism that give up a contested thesis called Diaphaneity. In its strongest form, Diaphaneity is the thesis that two experiences can differ in phenomenal character if and only if they differ in which items the subject is presented with. I argue that the naïve realist must hold on to at least a qualified version of the thesis if they want to remain committed to some of the key phenomenological and epistemic motivations for naïve realism. While non-diaphanous versions of naïve realism may be able to make room for phenomenological particularity-a desideratum that many naïve realists take seriously-they lose the ability to say that the worldly qualities we are presented with play a substantive role in fixing how particulars look.
