Colour of household glass pane

While we were replacing old, failing windows and their frames to make it water-tight, I've got a chance to measure a colour of a stack of household glass (they were standing vertically ofc).

As we all know, household glass windows has green tint because of iron impurities.

These are raw readings gathered from Spyder5.
