There is provided a colored glass housing having characteristics suitable for a housing of an electronic device, that is, a light blocking property, high strength, and superior manufacturing cost. The colored glass housing includes glass whose absorbance at wavelength from 380 nm to 780 nm is 0.7 or more, suitably, whose absorption constant is 1 mm−1 or more, and is provided on an exterior of the electronic device. In order to obtain the above glass, it is preferable that, as a coloring component in the glass, at least one component selected from a group consisting of oxides of Co, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Cr, V, and Bi amounting to 0.1% to 7% in terms of molar percentage on an oxide basis.
