Abstract

A glass composition that includes a base glass composition including: SiO 2 from 65 to 75 weight percent, Na 2 O from 10 to 20 weight percent, CaO from 5 to 15 weight percent, MgO from 0 to 5 weight percent, Al 2 O 3 from 0 to 5 weight percent, K 2 O from 0 to 5 weight percent, and a colorant and property modifying portion including total iron ranging from of equal to or less than 0.6 weight percent; and TiO 2 ranging from 0.1 to 1.0 weight percent, wherein the redox ratio ranges from 0.33 to 0.45 and the weight percents are based on the total weight of the composition.
