Default Tinting Confusion

Let me see if I can explain myself...

Here's my confusion: I called to see about tinting my windows and I'm having a heck of a time figuring out what's what. They said for the state of Alaska (Where I live) the law says the tint must be 70 on the side wndows and 50 on the back (Or reverse, I'm not sure) Can someone PLEASE tell me what that looks like (Dark or light)? I believe the people up here have brain freeze. I asked the chick what the tint looked liked, she paused and said it looked like tint. *Rolls eyes* (Sad part was... she was serious and not being mean in her answer.) Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Cool Tint answers

The way tint level is measured is by how much light is let in. So I would assume they require more light on the side than in the back. Limo tint registers somewhere around 10%. With 70%, you will know there is tint, but not have a problem seeing in. 50% you will be able to see in, but not hair color etc, I think. Call some shops, and someone should be able to send you a shading chart.

Thanks for the help. That's actually the info. I was looking for. Seems so simple, eh?
So far I've only found one shop up here that tints "Auto" windows.
