Correlation between Translucency Color and Transmitted Color

After testing, Translucency Color seems to replace Transmitted Color

Are they a competing relationship?

As I see it, it is 2 different things.

Translucense if color that passes through an object, while transmission is the color that is transmitted from the object.

You can try toincrease luminance. Default values are low, then I would assume transmitted get more influence. You can also adjust color temperature.

Just a note. With translucency weight = 1 the base color and reflectance tint are ignored. You need translucency < 1 to mix with diffuse. Then translucency can also go alone without volume with thin walled on, that's much faster to render if it suits your needs.

In short...
Translucency is what you see "colorized", through an object. As in "looking through a glass of red coolaid", everything might be red tinted.
Transmitted is what might physically be "cast outward", from light which has passed through an object. (You need a surface to see the "transmuted color".) A white light passing through a yellow candle may "cast" yellow light, as opposed to white. Even if the candle itself is showing translucent white, of an object behind it, or from the light itself.

Many glass surfaces, plastics, waxes, skin and paints have a similar effect. Light may be white transmuting through a lens, onto a floor... But the lenses may have a blue translucent tint to it, which makes it look like a UV filtered lens. Pearl paints have this attribute also. (Not to be confused with refraction and reflection, though this is part of "refraction". Its another form of extending "fake values" that represent real values, in math.)

A reflected color can be in opposition to, or similar to the color of the object. In most cases, the reflected color is equal to the surface color plus the reflected source color. (Again, in various situations, an apparent blue object can "reflect" everything but blue, or only blue. This depends what the substance is made of. A notch-filter might absorb all blue light, so it looks clear but reflects every color except blue.) Your skin is a good example of this... It will reflect light with a major tint similar to your skin, and less like the source, if it isn't "glossy from oils".
