No, that's not it.
Clear = transparent, which is more or less what you said. For a chemist (what Sa'ar is, in case you missed it), it would mean "without observable flocculents, filaments, sediment or other particles," -- as pure water would be, for example.
Colorless = without color. Not blue, not green, not yellow or pink. Not white, either. Without coloring of any kind -- again, as pure water would be, but in a different way than "clear" describes.
