Description: Field of the Invention This invention relates to a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material and, more particularly, to a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material suitable for a rapid processing, excellent in spectral absorption characteristics and remarkably improved upon dye-image fastness against light. Background of the Invention It has heretofore been well-known that a color image may be formed in such a manner that a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material is imagewise exposed and color-developed in a coupling reaction of a color forming agent with the oxidized product of an aromatic primary amine type color developing agent through which such a dye as indophenol, indoaniline, indamine, azomethine, phenoxazine, phenazine and the similar dyes thereto may be produced. Normally, this kind of photographic systems has so far adopted a subtractive color reproduction process and used a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material containing, in the blue-sensitive, green-sensitive and red-sensitive silver halide light-sensitive emulsion layers thereof, color forming agents in the complementary color relation, respectively, that is, the couplers capable of producing colors in yellow, magenta and cyan, respectively. It has been well-known that the above-mentioned couplers to be used for forming yellow color images include, for example, acylacetanilide type couplers; the couplers for forming magenta color images include, for example, those of the pyrazolone, pyrazolobenzimidazole, pyrazolotriazole or indazolone type; and the couplers for forming cyan colour images include, for example, those of the phenol or naphthol type; and they have popularly been used. It has been requested that such a dye image should neither be discolored nor faded even if it is exposed to light for a long time or stored under the conditions of high temperature and humidity. It has also been requested that any of the non-color image formed areas of a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material (hereinafter called a color photographic material) should not be stained into yellow (hereinafter called a Y-stain) by light, heat and/or moisture. In the case of magenta couplers, however, there has often raised such a serious problem that Y-stains produced in non-color image formed areas by light, heat and/or moisture have been more serious than in the cases of yellow or cyan couplers. One of the typical couplers having popularly been used for forming such magenta dyes is a 5-pyrazolone. The dyes each formed from the magenta couplers of the 5-pyrazolone type have such a serious problem that a subabsorption is in around 430 nm, beside the main absorption is in around 550 nm. To solve this problem, various studies and researches have so far been made. The are the magenta couplers having so far been proposed, such a pyrazolonebenzimidazole as described in British Patent No. 1,047,612, such an indazolone as described in U.S. Patent No. 3,770,447, such a pyrazolotriazole as described in U.S. Patent No. 3,725,067 and British Patent Nos. 1,252,418 and 1,334,515, and so forth. Among them, the dyes formed from 1H-pyrazolo[3,2-C]-s-triazole type magenta couplers described in U.S. Patent No. 3,725,067 and British Patent Nos. 1,252,418 and 1,334,515, each of which has the preferable advantages that the subabsorption in around 430 nm is substantially less and Y-stains produced in non-color image formed areas by light, heat and moisture are also substantially less. As for the dyes each formed from the above-mentioned magenta couplers having a substantially less subabsorption in around 430 µm, there have similarly been proposed those of pyrazolobenzimidazoles described in British Patent No. 1,047,612, imidazolones described in U.S. Patent No. 3,770,447, 1H-pyrazolo[5,1-c]-1,2,4-triazoles described in U.S. Patent No. 1,334,515 and British Patent Nos. 1,252,418 and 1,334,515, 1H-pyrazolo[1,5-b]-1,2,4-triazoles described in Japanese Patent Publication Open to Public Inspection (hereinafter called Japanese Patent O.P.I. Publication) No. 171956/1984 and Research Disclosure No. 24531, 1H-pyrazolo-[1,5-c]-1,2,3-triazoles described in Research Disclosure No. 24626, 1H-imidazo[1,2-b]pyrazoles described in Japanese Patent O.P.I. Publication No. 162548/1984 and Research Disclosure No. 24531, 1H-pyrazolo[1,5-b]pyrazoles described in Japanese Patent O.P.I. Publication No. 43659/1985 and Research Disclosure No. 24230 and 1H-pyrazolo[1,5-d]tetrazoles described in Japanese Patent O.P.I. Publication No. 33552/1985 and Research Disclosure No. 24220. However, some of these azole type ones have had the problems on color developability. Besides the above, International Patent Publication (WO) No. 86/02467 proposes a magenta coupler relatively less in subabsorption and excellent in spectral absorption characteristics and in dissolution/dispersion characteristics and color developability of the couplers, similar to the above-given couplers. The magenta coupler proposed therein are relatively excellent in dissolution/dispersion characteristics and color developability rather than the conventional azole type couplers, however, they still have a defect in their fastness against light. In the recent photographic industry, on the other hand, when reproducing the above-mentioned dye images, a high temperature process and a processing simplification have generally been tried with the purpose of economizing a time consumption required for various processing steps. Particularly, it is essential to improve the processing rate of a color developing process so as to shorten a processing time having been required in high temperature processes. It has been well-known that the processing rate of a color process depends greatly upon the configurations, sizes and compositions of silver halide grains which are to be contained in silver halide emulsions. It has particularly been well-known that silver chloride grains may be able to display a substantially high processing rate if they are under specific conditions, so that they may be able to preferably contribute to shortening a processing time, as described in Japanese Patent O.P.I. Publication No. 232342/1984. Accordingly, the present inventors have tried their experiments by making use of the coupler described in the above-mentioned International Patent Publication (WO) No. 86/02467 and, further the silver halide grains each having a relatively high silver chloride content and, resultingly, they have succeeded to raise the processing rate and to achieve more improvements in color developability, as compared with the conventional azole type magenta couplers. However, the fastness against light thereof still remained unimproved similar to the case of the conventional azole type ouplers. Therefore, the inventors have tried to use therein an anti-discoloring agent in combination, however, any fastness against light has not been improved with keeping a rapid processing compatibility, because the color developability has seriously been deteriorated, though the fastness against light has been improved to some extent. Accordingly, the inventors have improved the fastness against light of dye images formed from the above-mentioned couplers having the excellent advantages in dissolution/dispersion characteristics and in color developing characteristics and, further, studied on light-sensitive materials each suitable for rapid processing. Resultingly, the inventors have found that such fastness against light can be improved without deterioration of color developability in a rapid processes, when using silver halide grains each containing silver chloride in an amount of not less than 80 mol% and a high boiling organic solvent in a specific proportion to couplers used, so as to serve as the dispersion medium of both couplers and anti-discoloring agent used therein. In addition to the above, the inventors have similarly studied on not only the coupler described in the International Patent Publication (WO) No. 86/02467, but also the couplers similar to the above-mentioned coupler, so that the inventors have finally achieved this invention. EP-A-0 161 577 discloses a silver halide colour photographic light-sensitive material comprising a support bearing a silver chloride containing silver halide emulsion layer thereon which includes couplers of similar structure (particularly couplers of formula III) to those ones covered by formulae (a), (b) and (c) of the present application and an antidiscoloring agent, both being dispersed in the emulsion layer by making use of a high boiling solvent which is employed in an amount of 10 to 300% based on the weight of the magenta coupler. The known couplers of said formula III are disclaimed in the present application. A silver halide light sensitive colour photographic material having a support bearing a silver halide emulsion layer containing silver chloride in an amount of not less than 80 mol% has already been described in EP-A-0 080 896. Summary of the Invention It is, therefore, an object of the invention to provide a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material which is excellent in spectral absorption characteristics and is remarkably improved in fastness of dye images against light.

As for the binders (or protective colloids) used in the invention, gelatin is advantageous to be used therein and, besides, hydrophilic colloids including, for example, a gelatin derivative, a graft polymer comprising gelatin and other macromolecules, a protein, a sugar derivative, a cellulose derivative, such a synthtic hydrophilic macromolecular substance as homo- or co-polymers may also be used therein. The photographic emulsion layers and other hydrophilic colloidal layers of the silver halide photographic light-sensitive materials of the invention may be hardened by making use, independently or in combination, of a hardening agent capable of cross-coupling molecules of binders (or of protective colloids) to each other so as to increasing layer strength. It is desirable to add a hardening agent in an amount as much as a light-sensitive material may be hardened but to the extent that none of such hardening agent is required to be added into any processing liquid. Notwithstanding the above, a hardening agent may also be added into a processing liquid. A plasticizers may also be added with the purpose of softening the silver halide emulsion layers and/or other hydrophilic colloidal layers of the silver halide photogrphic light-sensitive materials of the invention. A water-insoluble or hardly soluble synthetic polymer dispersion (i.e., a latex) may be added into the silver halide emulsion layers containing the silver halide emulsions of the invention and/or other hydrophilic colloidal layers of the light-sensitive materials of the invention, with the purposes of improving the dimensional stability. To the silver halide photographic light-sensitive materials of the invention, auxiliary layers such as a filter layer, antihalation layer, antiirradiation layer and/or other layers may be provided. These layers and/or the emulsion layers may also contain a dyestuff expelled from or bleached in a color light-sensitive material, in the course of carrying out the development of the light-sensitive material. A matting agent may also be added into the silver halide emulsion layers and/or other hydrophilic colloidal layers of the silver halide photographic light-sensitive materials of the invention, with the purposes of lowering the gloss of the light-sensitive material, increasing the retouchability thereof, preventing the adhesion to each other light-sensitive materials. A lubricant may be added into the silver halide photographic light-sensitive materials of the invention, with the purpose of reducing the sliding friction thereof. An antistatic agent may be added into the silver halide photographic light-sensitive materials of the invention, with the purpose of an electrostatic prevention. Such an antistatic agent may be applied to an antistatic layer provided to the spport side not laminated with any emulsion layer, or to the emulsion layers and/or a protective layer other than the emulsion layers, provided on the support side laminated with the emulsion layers. A variety of surface active agents may be applied to the photographic emulsion layers and/or other hydrophilic colloidal layers of the silver halide photographic light-sensitive materials of the invention, with the purposes of improving the properties of coating, static prevention, sliding, emulsification-dispersion, adhesion prevention and other photographic properties (such as properties of development acceleration, hardening and sensitizing).

In the silver halide photographic light-sensitive materials of the invention, the photographic emulsion layers and other layers may be coated over to the support thereof directly or through one or more subbing layers each for improving the support surfaces especially upon the adhesion property, antistatic property, dimensional stability, abrasion resistance, hardness, antihalation property, frictional property and/or others thereof, after applying a corona discharge, uv irradiation and flame treatment to the surface of the support, if required. A thickening agent may be used when coating the silver halide photographic light-sensitive materials of the invention, with the purpose of improving the coatability. The particularly useful coating methods are an extrusion coating and curtain coating methods each capable of coating two or more layers simultaneously. The light-sensitive materials of the invention may be exposed to light by making use of magnetic waves having the spectral region to which the emulsion layers constituting the light-sensitive materials of the invention are sensitive. Any of the well-known light sources may be used for this purpose, such as natural light (i.e., daylight), a tungsten lamp, a fluorescent lamp, a mercury lamp, a xenon-arc lamp, a carbon-arc lamp, a xenon-flash lamp, a cathode-ray-tube flying-spot, a variety of laser beams, a light emitting diode beam, rays of light emitted from a phosphor excited by an electron beam, x-rays, γ-rays or α-rays. An exposure may be made not only for a time from 1 millisecond to 1 second for which normal type cameras usually apply, but also from 100 microseconds to 1 microsecond by making use of a cathode-ray-tube or a xenon-flash lamp and, in addition, a more longer exposure than 1 second may also be made. Such an exposure may be made continuously or intermittently. With the silver halide photographic light-sensitive materials of the invention, an image may be reproduced by carrying out any color development processes which have so far been well-known in the industry skilled in the art. In the invention, the color developing agents to be used in color developers include the well-known ones each being popularly used in a variety of color photographic processes. These color developing agents include, for example, an aminophenol type and a p-phenylenediamine type derivative. These compounds are generally used in the form of the salts thereof such as in the form of a hydrochloride or a sulfate, because they are more stable than in a free state. These compounds are generally used in a concentration of from about 0.1 g to about 30 g per liter of a color developer used and, more preferably, from about 1 g to about 15 g per liter of a color developer used. The aminophenol type developing agents include, for example, o-aminophenol, p-aminophenol 5-amino-2-oxytoluene, 2-amino-3-oxytoluene and 2-oxy-3-amino-1,4-dimethylbenzene. The particularly preferable primary aromatic amine color developing agents include, for example, N,N'-dialkyl-p-phenylenediamine compounds. The alkyl and phenyl groups thereof may be substituted with any substituent. Among the above, the particularly useful compounds include, for example, an N,N'-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine hydrochloride, an N-methyl-p-phenylenediamine hydrochloride, an N,N'-dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine hydrochloride, 2-amino-5-(N-ethyl-N-dodecyl-amino)-toluene, an N-ethyl-N-β-methanesulfonamidoethyl-3-methyl-4-aminoaniline hydrochloride, an N-ethyl-N-β-hydroxyethylaminoaniline, 4-amino-3-methyl-N,N'-diethylaniline and a 4-amino-N(2-methoxyethyl)-ethyl-3-methylaniline-p-toluenesulfonate. Into the color developers used for processing the silver halide photographic light-sensitive materials of the invention, any compounds which have been well-known as the developer components may also be added, in addition to the above-mentioned primary aromatic amine color developing agents. The above-mentioned color developers are allowed to contain, namely, any of such an alkalizing agent as sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate. ,an alkali metal sulfite, an alkali metal bisulfite, an alkali metal thiocyanate, an alkali metal halide, a benzyl alcohol, a water softener and a thickener. The pH values of such color developers are normally not less than 7 and, most popularly, from about 10 to about 13. The silver halide photographic light-sensitive materials of the invention may be processed in an alkaline activation bath by containing the above-mentioned color developing agents serving as the color developing agent itself or as the precursors thereof in the hydrophilic colloidal layers of the light-sensitive materials. Such color developing agent precursors are the compounds each capable of producing a color developing agent under alkaline conditions. These compounds include, for example, a Schiff base type precursor prepared with an aromatic aldehyde derivative, a polyvalent metal ion complex precursor, a phthalimide derivative precursor, a phosphoric acid amide derivative precursor, a sugaramine reactant precursor and a urethane type precursor. These precursors of aromatic primary amine color developing agents are described in, for example. U.S. Patent Nos. 3,342,599, 2,507,114, 2,695,234 and 3,719,492; British Patent No. 803,783; Japanese Patent O.P.I. Publication Nos. 185628/1978 and 79035/1979; and Research Disclosure Nos. 15159, 12146 and 13924. It is necessary that the above-mentioned aromatic primary amine color developing agents and the precursors thereof are to be added in an amount as much as a satisfactory color may be developed, when an activation treatment is applied. They are added in an amount of, mostly, from 0.1 mol to 5 mol per mol of a silver halide used and, more preferably, from 0.5 mol to 3 mol, though depending considerably upon the kinds of light-sensitive materials to be processed. These color developing agents and the precursors thereof may be used independently or in combination. They may be added into a light-sensitive material in such a manner that they are dissolved in such a suitable solvent as water, methanol, ethanol and acetone or they are formed into a dispersed emulsion by making use of such a high boiling organic solvent as dibutyl phthalate, dioctyl phthalate and tricresyl phosphate or, further, they are impregnated into such a latex polymer as described in, for example, Research Disclosure No. 14850. The silver halide photographic light-sensitive materials of the invention are bleached and fixed after completing a color development. Such bleaching and fixing steps may be carried out at the same time. As for the useful bleaching agents, a variety of compounds may be used. Among them, a polyvalent metal compounds such as an Iron (III), cobalt (III) and copper (II) may be used. Especially, the complex salts of the cations of the above-mentioned polyvalent metal compounds and an organic acids including, for example, those of aminopolycarboxylic acids such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, nitrilotriacetic acid and N-hydroxyethylethylenediaminediacetic acid; the metal complex salts such as those of malonic acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, diglycolic acid and dithioglycolic acid; ferricyanates and dichromates. They may be used independently or in combination. As for the fixers, a soluble complex-forming agent capable of making a silver halide into a complex salt so as to making it be soluble may be used. Such aceifying agents include, for example, sodium thiosulfate, ammonium thiosulfate, potassium thiocyanate, thiourea and tioether. A washing step is normally carried out after completing the fixing step. Such washing step may be replaced by a stabilizing step and the both steps may be carried out in combination. The stabilizers each used in the stabilizing step are allowed to contain a pH adjusting agent, a chelating agent and an antimold. The detailed requirements thereof may be referred to Japanese Patent O.P.I. Publication No. 134636/1983. According to the silver halide photographic light-sensitive materials of the invention, spectral absorption characteristics and rapid processability can excellently be enjoyed and the fastness of magenta images against light can also remarkably be improved. Examples The typical embodiments of the invention will now be described in detail. It is, however, to be understood that the invention shall not be limited thereto. Example 1 Samples No. 1 through No. 26 were prepared in such a manner that the various kinds of coupler dispersions were so prepared as to have the compositions shown in Table 1 in the following preparing method and the resulted dispersions were mixed respectively in 500 g each of green-sensitive silver halide emulsions (in which every average grain size of the silver halide grains thereof was 0.4 µm) prepared by applying thereto the silver chloride contents each shown in Table 1, respectively, and then the resulted mixtures were coated over to the respective polyethylene-laminated supports and dried. (Method of preparing the coupler dispersions) The coupler dispersions were prepared, respectively, in such a manner that 40 g of a coupler and an anti-discoloring agent (in a proportion of 50 mol% to the coupler) each shown in Table 1 were dissolved in the mixed solution of 40 g of a high boiling organic solvent and 100 ml of ethyl acetate, and the resulted solution was added into an aqueous 5% gelatin solution containing sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate and was then dispersed by means of a supersonic homogenizer. Thus prepared samples were exposed to light in an ordinary method and were then treated in the following processing steps: The above-mentioned every silver halide emulsion was color-sensitized by making use of Exemplified spectral sensitizer No. 4. <Test of fastness against light> The test results each are expressed by the ratios of the remaining initial densities D₀ = 1.0, obtained when the samples were irradiated by sunlight for 30 days by making use of an under-glass outdoor type exposure table. <Color developability test> A maximum reflection density (Dmax) of each sample processed was measured and the values obtained express the respective characteristics of 'color developability'. <Subabsorption density> With respect to the obtained samples, the spectral reflection spectra were measured by making use of a color analyzer Model 607 (manufactured by Hitachi, Ltd.). Each of the measurements was made by standardizing each maximum density of the absorption spectra in the regions of the visible rays as 1.0. In each sample, the reflection density in 430 nm was regarded as the subabsorption density thereof, so as to serve as an index for color purity. It is undertood from the results shown in Table 1 that the samples No. 1 through No. 7 each using a silver halide emulsion having a relatively low silver chloride content do not show any satisfactory maximum density and fastness against light even when using the couplers, anti-discoloring agents and high boiling organic solvents each relating to the invention and, particularly, the samples No. 1 through No. 4 each using the comparative couplers No. 1 and No. 2 show a substantially high subabsorption density and a substantially poor fastness against light. In contrast to the above, the samples No. 8 through No. 10 each using a silver halide emulsion having a relatively high silver chloride content excellently result in both maximum density and fastness against light. From the comparison between the amounts of high boiling organic solvents added, it is found that the color densities are increased in order from Samples No. 23, 22, 21, 10 upto 20 and, in particular, the satisfactory density level can be obtained only when the solvent content is not less than 0.6. It is further amazingly found that, in this density level, a color developability and fastness against light can correlatively be improved. In the samples No. 25 and No. 26 each not containing any anti-discoloring agent but containing the couplers of the invention do not satisfactorily show not only the fastness against light but also the color developability. Example 2 A silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material for multicolor photographic use was prepared by coating the following layers each over to a support comprising a polyethylene-laminated paper, in order from the support side. 1st layer : A blue-sensitive silver chloride emulsion layer The coating was so made as to proportionate 8 mg/dm² of a yellow coupler (i.e., Exemplified coupler No. Y-2), 3 mg/dm² (in terms of silver used) of a blue-sensitive silver chloride emulsion (i.e., Em. A), 3 mg/dm² of a high boiling organic solvent (i.e., Exemplified solvent No. S-6) and 16 mg/dm² of gelatin. 2nd layer : An interlayer The coating was so made as to proportionate 0.45 mg/dm² of a hydroquinone derivative (i.e., HQ-1) and 4 mg/dm² of gelatin. 3rd layer : A green-sensitive silver chloride emulsion layer The coating was so made as to proportionate 4 mg/dm² of Comparative coupler No. 3, the anti-discoloring agent shown in Table 2 in a proportion of 50 mol% to the coupler used, 4 mg/dm² (in terms of silver used) of a green-sensitive silver chloride emulsion (i.e., Em. B), 4 mg/dm² of a high boiling organic solvent (i.e., Exemplified solvent No. S-13) and 16 mg/dm² of gelatin. 4th layer : An interlayer The coating was so made as to proportionate 3 mg/dm² each of UV absorbing agents (i.e., UV-16 and UV-6), 4 mg/dm² of a high boiling organic solvent (i.e., Exemplified solvent No. S-2), 0.45 mg/dm² of a hydroquinone derivative (i.e., HQ-1) and 14 mg/dm² of gelatin. 5th layer : A red-sensitive silver chloride emulsion layer The coating was so made as to proportionate 1 mg/dm² of a cyan coupler (i.e., Exemplified cyan coupler No. C-8), 3 mg/dm² of a cyan coupler (i.e., Exemplified cyan coupler No. C-5), 2 mg/dm² of a high boiling organic solvent (i.e., Exemplified solvent No. S-), 3 mg/dm² (in terms of silver used) of a red-sensitive silver chloride emulsion (i.e., Em. E) and 14 mg/dm² of gelatin. 6th layer : An interlayer The coating was so made as to proportionate 2 mg/dm² of a UV absorbing agent (i.e., UV-16), 2 mg/dm² of (UV-6), 2 mg/dm² of a high boiling organic solvent (i.e., Exemplified solvent No. S-2) and 6 mg/dm² of gelatin. 7th layer : A protective layer The coat was made so as to be 9 mg/dm² of gelatin. The sample prepared is hereby called Sample 1. Next, Samples No. 2 through No. 7 were prepared in the same manner as in Sample No. 1, respectively, except that the combination of the silver halide emulsion, coupler, anti-discoloring agent, high boiling organic solvent and amount of silver coated each in the 3rd layer of Sample 1 was changed as shown in Table 2, provided however that the amounts each of the coupler and anti-discoloring agent coated were made to be the same mol as those in Sample 1. The samples thus prepared were exposed to green-light through an optical wedge by making use of a sensitometer (Model KS-7 manufactured by Konishiroku Photo Ind. Co., Ltd.) and were then processed in the same manner as in Example 1, respectively. The samples thus processed were tested in the same manner as in Example 1. The results thereof are shown in Table 2. In addition, the yellow stains produced by light in the samples were checked up in the same blue-light densitometry having been applied to the white areas of the samples in the tests of fastness against light. The results thereof were also shown in Table 2. The silver halide emulsions each used in the tests indicated in Table 2 are as follows. It may be obvious from the results shown in Table 2 that the same results as in Example 1 may be obtained also in silver halide color photographic light-sensitive materials for multicolor photographic use. In addition to the above, when the practical prints were visually evaluated on their color reproducibility, the samples No. 3 through No. 7 each relating to the invention displayed more brighter tone and particularly they displayed excellent purple-color reproduction and, on the other hand, the sample No. 2 showed a relatively low maximum density and gave us an impression of a lack of crispness. In conclusion, the samples No. 3 through No. 6 each relating to the invention have been able to achieve the excellent color reproducibility as well as both of the high color developability and fastness against light. Example-3 A sample was prepared in the same manner as in Sample 3 prepared in the aforementioned Example-2, except that, in the 3rd layer, the compound represented by Formula [XVI] was added to serve as an anitdiscoloring agent and the high boiling organic solvent was replaced, as shown in Table-3 below. The prepared sample was processed and then evaluated in the same manner as in Example-1. The results of the tests are also shown in Table-3. The amounts in mol of the compound [XVI-I] and AO-23 added were made equivalent to that of the couplers contained in each emulsion layer. As is obvious from Table-3, the sample of the invention was able to render magenta images each having no deterioration in color density and an excellent color fastness against light. It was also found that the less a dielectric constant of a high boiling organic solvent is, the more a color fastness against light is, so that very stable images can be obtained. Further, it is more preferable that the greater a B/A (a ratio by weight of a high boiling organic solvent to a coupler) is. Example-4 The samples were prepared in the same manner as in Sample-3 prepared in Example-2, except that the respective 3rd and 5th layers were prepared as shown in Table-4 below. Every sample was processed in the same manner as in Example-1 and the characteristics thereof were evaluated. The tests for the subabsorption density and dark discoloration in cyan color each of the magenta dyes were carried out in the following methods. Further, the structures of anti-dark-discoloring agent AF-2 used therein are given below. <Sub-absorption density> The reflection spectra of the magenta color developed samples obtained were measured by making use of a color analyzer, Model 607 manufactured by Hitachi, Ltd., respectively. In the measurements, a maximum density value of the absorption spectra in the visible areas of each sample was regarded as the standard value of 1.0, and the reflection density of each sample in 430 nm was regarded as a sub-absorption density so as to serve as the color purity index. <Dark discoloration test in cyan> The cyan color developed samples thereby proessed were stored in a hydrothermostat for 2 weeks at 85°C and 60%RH. The resulted discoloration of each sample was expressed in terms of the ratio of such discoloration to the initial density Do =1.0. It was confirmed from the results shown in Table-4 that the samples, each of which is comprised of both of a green-sensitive emulsion layer containing the magenta couplers relating to the invention and a red-sensitive emulsion layer containing cyan couplers dispersed with a high boiling organic solvent having a dielectric constant of not less than 6.0, the samples are excellent silver halide photographic light-sensitive materials, because they displayed satisfactory color developability and substantially less sub-absorption, yellow light-stain and cyan dark-discoloration. Example-5 The samples shown in Table-5 were prepared in the same manner as in Sample-3 prepared in Example-2, except that the respective 3rd layers were prepared as shown in Table-5 below. Into every sample, the antidiscoloring agent AO-21 was added in an amount of 0.1 mol per mol of the couplers contained in the 3rd layer. Every sample was processed in the same manner as in Example-1 and the characteristics thereof were evaluated. The results thereof are also shown in Table-5. The color fastness against light of each sample was tested in the following method: <Color fastness against light> Magenta-dye images were exposed to daylight for 20 days by making use of an under-glass type outdoor exposure table and the results thereof were evaluated in the same manner as in Example-1. As is obvious from Table-5, it can be found that the magenta dye-images obtained of the silver halide photographic light-sensitive materials prepared in accordance with the invention may be endowed with an excellent color reproducibility and may further be improved in color fastness against light and maximum density. It can also be found from more closer observation that the effects of the invention can be further increased as the image stabilizer of the invention is increasingly added. It is further found that the effects of the invention can more effectively be displayed when using a high boiling organic solvent having a relatively lower dielectric constant selected from every kind thereof. Example-6 The samples of the invention each containing the compound e-5 represented by Formula [XIV] and an oil-soluble dyestuff were prepared in the same manner as in Sample-3 prepared in Example-2, except that the composition of the respective 3rd layers were replaced as shown in Table-6. The color tones and the white background of the obtained images were measured in the following methods: <Test for spectral absorption characteristics> The spectral reflectance of each magenta color developed sample obtained was measured by making use of a color-analyzer (Model 607 manufactured by Hitachi Ltd.) In the measurements, in the visible areas of each sample, a maximum density of the absorption spectra therein was regarded as a standard value of 1.0 Next, a maximum absorption wavelength in the visible magenta areas of each sample was read and a maximum absorption wavelength of a separately prepared sample not containing any compound having Formula [XIV] was regarded as a standard. Then the difference in maximum absorption wavelength between the two samples was calculated. The value calculated was used as a criterion of color tones for estimating a degree of shifting the tones to a longer wavelength side, (hereinafter called an LWS degree). <Measurement of whiteness> The values of a* and b* of the white background, i.e., the unexposed areas, of each sample obtained was measured in conformity to the method of measuring object colors specified in Japanese Industrial Standards, JIS Z8722 and Z8727 by making use of a Hitachi Color Analyzer Model 607. The results indicated that the more an a* value is, the more a red tone is, while the less a* value is, the more a green tone is; and, on the other hand, the more a b* value is, the more a yellow tone is, while the less a b* value is, the more a blue tone is. In addition to the above measurements, the visual whiteness of the samples were also judged. It can be found from the results shown in Table-6 that the undesirable phenomena such as the lowering in a white background and the increase in an LWS degree may be taken place when the couplers relating to the invention contain a compound having Formula [XIV], however, such phenomena can be prevented by using an oil-soluble dyestuff in combination and the invention can result in an excellent color fastness against light and a clear white background as well as no shifting of tones to a long wavelength side.
