Answer 1

Just include opacity property to your stacklayout :

<StackLayout VerticalOptions="End" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"  BackgroundColor="#80000000" Opacity="0.5" HeightRequest="160"  Grid.Row="2" >
  <Label Text="05:00" FontSize="60" FontAttributes="Bold" TextColor="White" HorizontalTextAlignment="Center" VerticalTextAlignment="Center" ></Label>
</StackLayout>

Answer 2

Even simpler solution would be to just change the hex values of the alpha channel.

FBC1BC is a solid color but #00FBC1BC is a transparent, due to 00 which set the alpha of the color to 0 or transparent.

So just do this #FBC1BC > #50FBC1BC

And you will get a transparent background color with alpha defined by the first two values!

BackgroundColor = Color.Transparent
