The present invention provides a green colored, infrared and ultraviolet absorbing glass article having a luminous transmittance of up to 60 percent. The composition of the glass article uses a standard soda-lime-silica glass base composition and additionally iron, cobalt, selenium, and chromium, and optionally titanium, as infrared and ultraviolet radiation absorbing materials and colorants. The glasses of the present invention have a color characterized by a dominant wavelength in the range of about 480 to 565 nanometers, preferably about 495 to 560 nanometers, with an excitation purity of no higher than about 20 percent, preferably no higher than about 10 percent, and more preferably no higher than about 7 percent. The glass compositions may be provided with different levels of spectral performance depending on the particular application and desired luminous transmittance. In one embodiment of the invention, the glass composition of a green colored, infrared and ultraviolet radiation absorbing soda-lime-silica glass article includes a solar radiation absorbing and colorant portion consisting essentially of about 0.60 to 4 percent by weight total iron, about 0.13 to 0.9 percent by weight FeO, about 40 to 500 PPM CoO, about 5 to 70 PPM Se, about 15 to 800 PPM Cr2O3, and about 0.02 to 1 percent by weight TiO2. In another embodiment of the invention, the glass composition of the article includes a solar radiation absorbing and colorant portion consisting essentially of 1 to less than 1.4 percent by weight total iron, about 0.2 to 0.6 percent by weight FeO, greater than 200 to about 500 PPM CoO, about 5 to 70 PPM Se, greater than 200 to about 800 PPM Cr2O3, and 0 to about 1 percent by weight TiO2.
