Kevin,

Off the top of my head for a Monday morning, you could make a duplicate of
the object that is accepting the shadows and apply a matte/shadow material
to it.  In the matte/shadow material you can adjust the darkness and the
color.

Just remember to take off the receive shadows on the original opaque object
otherwise you'll get two shadows.

Later,
