Abstract:
A silver halide color photographic lightsensitive material comprising a support and, superimposed thereon, a yellow color-forming blue-sensitive emulsion layer comprising at least one lightsensitive emulsion sub-layer, a magenta color-forming green-sensitive emulsion layer comprising at least one lightsensitive emulsion sub-layer and a cyan color-forming red-sensitive emulsion layer comprising at least one lightsensitive emulsion sub-layer,wherein said at least one sub-layer in said green-sensitive emulsion layer contains at least one magenta coupler represented by a general formula (MC-1): ##STR17## wherein R.sub.1 represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent; and each of G.sub.1 and G.sub.2 represents a nitrogen atom or a carbon atom, provided that G.sub.2 is a carbon atom when G.sub.1 is a nitrogen atom, G.sub.1 is a carbon atom when G.sub.2 is a nitrogen atom; and R.sub.2 binds to G.sub.1 or G.sub.2 that is a carbon atom, wherein R.sub.2 represents a substituent;and said at least one sub-layer in said red-sensitive emulsion layer contains at least one cyan coupler represented by a general formula (PC-1): ##STR18## wherein X represents a hydrogen atom or a group capable of dissociating by a coupling reaction with an aromatic primary amine color developing agent; A represents a substituent; m is an integer of 0 to 4; Q represents a divalent group selected from --O--, --COO--, --SO.sub.2 --, --OC(O)--, --NR.sub.18 CO--, --CONR.sub.18 --, --NR.sub.18 SO.sub.2 --, --SO.sub.2 NR.sub.18 --, --NR.sub.18 COO-- and --NR.sub.18 CONR.sub.19 --, wherein each of R.sub.18 and R.sub.19 independently represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group; R.sub.12 represents a substituent having a moiety of an aryl group or alkyl group each having at least 6 total carbon atoms; n is 1 or 2, provided that, when n is 1, R.sub.12 has at least one dissociating group and that, when n is 2, two --Q--R.sub.12 groups may be the same or different from each other and may contain a dissociating group; each of R.sub.13 and R.sub.14 independently represents an alkyl group; each of R.sub.15, R.sub.16 and R.sub.17 independently represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group; and Z represents a group of nonmetallic atoms forming a 5 to 8-membered carbocyclic or heterocyclic ring, with which a saturated or unsaturated carbocyclic or heterocyclic rings may be condensed.
