You have your reflection set very high.  Realistically, it should be no bigger
than 1.  A setting of 80 will multiply the reflected values by 80, washing out
the colour.

I would also set "ambient 0" to remove the ambient colour from the surface.

Additionally, for glass, I usually prefer to set "diffuse 0" and let material
attenuation and/or filtered colour to take care of the colouration.  However,
there may be some instances where you do want some diffuse to have the surface
coloured a bit (for example a slightly frosted glass or a translucent film or
paint over the glass)

Make ambient 0 for one.  I also tend to use diffuse as 0 as well.

One other thing you may want to look at, is to use variable reflection with
'fresnel on'.  Fresnel bases the reflection variability on the material ior:

finish{
   ambient 0
   diffuse 0
   conserve_energy
   reflection{0 1 fresnel on metallic 0}
}
