To reproduce, simply have another player crouch/sneak in front of you and you'll notice how the white letters in their name tag get grayed out.
This seems to be "crosshair-specific" where the two points of the name tag meet each other right at the crosshair/center while a player is facing another player where if they were to be on one side, it would only gray out that side being where the player is crouching.
