Abstract:
A silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material, comprising at least one blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing a yellow coupler, at least one green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing a magenta coupler, and at least one red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing a cyan coupler, provided on a support,wherein at least one layer of said light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers contains at least two emulsions each having a silver halide emulsion comprising sliver halide grains having a silver chloride content of 95 mol % or more and being different from each other in photographic speed and in the amount of a complex of a metal of group VIII of the periodic table, and wherein, with respect to each of characteristic curves obtained by a color development of said light-sensitive material after exposure, the following relationships are satisfied: 0.65&lE;D1â€²/D1&lE;0.85 1.1&lE;log(E2/E1)&lE;1.4 wherein D1 represents a density obtained by exposing to light in an exposure amount ten times as much as that required to provide a density of 0.02+the density of the unexposed portion, in the characteristic curve obtained by a 10âˆ’1-sec exposure, D1â€² represents a density obtained by exposing to light in an exposure amount ten times as much as that required to provide a density of 0.02+the density of the unexposed portion, in the characteristic curve obtained by a 10âˆ’4-sec exposure, E1 represents an exposure amount required to provide a density of 0.02+the density of the unexposed portion, in the characteristic curve obtained by a 10âˆ’4-sec exposure, and E2 represents, in the characteristic curve obtained by a 10âˆ’4-sec exposure, an exposure amount required to provide a density 0.92 times the maximum density in the characteristic curve obtained by a 10âˆ’1 -sec exposure.
