On the glass
Low-iron or standard float?
Specify low-iron glass
On standard 6mm float glass this colour will not look like the chip. Float glass contains iron, which gives it a faint green cast, easy to see at the edge of a pane and, through a pale colour, across the whole face: a white goes faintly green-cream, a pale blue drifts towards sea green. Low-iron glass has almost none of that cast, so the colour reads as the chart shows it. Low-iron carries a higher rate per square metre, and the cost page shows the two side by side.
How a painted splashback is made
6mm glass, toughened for the heat behind a hob, with the sockets and the hob notch cut before toughening, then painted on the back so the colour sits behind a glass surface that wipes clean. The colour you see is the paint through the glass, which is why the base glass matters and why the surface is always gloss.

Straight answers
RAL 1015 questions
Does RAL 1015 Light ivory need low-iron glass?
Yes, if you want it to look like the chip. Light ivory is a pale colour, and the green cast of standard float glass shows through it. Low-iron glass has almost no cast, so the colour reads true.
Will RAL 1015 on my screen match the glass?
No. RAL 1015 is defined by a painted chip, the swatch on this page is a published sRGB approximation of it, and your screen renders that in its own way. Lacquered glass also reads glossier and a little cooler than a paint chart. Use the swatch to shortlist, and settle the colour with a physical sample in your own kitchen light.
Does Light ivory cost more than another colour?
No. A back-painted splashback is priced by its glass type (standard or low-iron), thickness and size, and the colour is not a price line. The cost page shows the usual sizes priced with RAL 1015 carried across.
