Abstract: In a color print containing cyan, magenta and yellow colored dyes, the color print where the spectral absorption peak wave lengths of the respective colored dyes lie in the range represented by the following formula: ½ (λy + λc)≧λm ≧ ½ (λy + λc)-10 (I) λc = Spectral absorption peak wave length (nm) of the colored cyan dye λm = Spectral absorption peak wave length (nm) of the colored magenta dye λy = Spectral absorption peak wave length (nm) of the colored yellow dye In the color print, improvement of the color reproduction and improvement of the observation light source dependency, which hitherto tend to conflict with each other, can be attained at the same time.

Description: This invention relates to a color print and a method for producing the same, more specifically to a color print where even when the image was observed under different light sources the color balance does not get out of order, that is, a color print which has a small observation light source dependency, and a method for production thereof. A silver halide color photosensitive material is a photosensitive material where three kinds of photosensitive layers which are respectively composed of silver halide emulsion layer(s) are each selectively sensitized so as to have a photosensitivity to blue light, green light and red light and coated on a support with a multi-layered construction. For example, in a so-called color photographic paper (hereinafter referred to as color paper), red sensitive emulsion layer(s), green sensitive emulsion layer(s) and blue sensitive emulsion layer(s) are generally provided by coating in this order from the side to be exposed to light, and further in general, for example, an intermediate layer and a protective layer are provided, for example, between the photosensitive layers in order to inhibit color mixing or absorption of ultraviolet rays. Further, in a so-called color positive film, green sensitive emulsion layer(s), red sensitive emulsion layer(s) and blue sensitive emulsion layer(s) are generally provided by coating in this order from the furthest side from a support, i.e., from the side to be exposed to light. In a color negative film, various layer arrangements are possible, and generally a blue sensitive emulsion layer, green sensitive emulsion layer and red sensitive emulsion layer are provided by coating in this order from the side to be exposed to light. However, in a photosensitive material having 2 or more emulsion layers which have the same color sensitivities but different speeds, an emulsion layer having a different color sensitivity is sometimes arrayed between the emulsion layers, and, for example, a yellow filter layer, an intermediate layer and a protective layer each of which can be bleached is inserted. In order to form a color photographic image, photographic couplers of three colors, i.e., yellow, magenta and cyan are contained in the photosensitive layer, and the photosensitive material after exposure to light is color developed using a so-called color developing agent. The oxidized form of the aromatic primary amine is coupled with a coupler to give a colored dye, the coupling rate is preferably as large as possible, and the colored dye is preferably a dye having good coloring properties that give a high color density in a limited development time. Further, the colored dye is required to be a brilliant cyan, magenta or yellow dye having low subabsorbing properties and to give a color photographic image of good color reproduction. On the other hand, there is a possibility that the formed color photographic image, i.e., color print is observed under various light sources such as a sun light, a fluorescent lamp, a tungsten light and a mixed light thereof. The color print is therefore, required to be an image composed of such a combination of the dyes that the balance of gray and other colors is not marred even when it is observed under any light source such as one mentioned above (such a property is called observation light source dependency). When a thing which is gray under a sun light is observed under a tungsten light, human eyes can recognize it to be gray. This is called dark adaptation. On color reproduction by a so-called subtractive color process where all colors containing gray are reproduced by combinations of three primary colors, i.e., cyan, magenta and yellow, it has been known that a region of combinated colored dyes where dark adaptation becomes impossible exists. On combination of dyes under such region, it occurs that an image which seems to be gray under a sun light seems to be reddish or greenish gray. Such a phenomenon is a very undesirable thing for a color photographic image which may be observed under various light sources, and it is always desired to diminish such a dependency. On the other hand, it is a supreme proposition to make a good clear reproduction, and various efforts have been tried therefor. However, it has also been known in general that when the absorption spectrum of the colored dye is sharpened in order to make the color reproduction better, the observation light source dependency tends to become bad. Thus, development of a method for improving these properties at the same time has intensely been desired. It is the object of the present invention to provide a color print having such an improved observation light source dependency that gray is recognized as gray under various light sources such as a sun light, a fluorescent lamp and a tungsten light, and a method for production thereof, whereby the color reproduction in the region of from red to magenta and blue of the color print is also improved. The above object of the present invention has been accomplished by a color print wherein colored dyes, formed by coupling each of at least one coupler represented by the following general formula (I) and/or (II), at least one coupler represented by the following general formula (III), and at least one coupler represented by the following general formula (IV), with the oxidized form of a para-phenylenediamine developing agent, are respectively contained in different hydrophilic colloidal layers as provided on a reflecting support by coating; each of the colored dyes existing in droplets of a high boiling organic solvent and/or a water insoluble high molecular compound having a dielectric constant of 2 to 20 at 25°C and a refractive index of 1.3 to 1.7 at 25°C, the grains being dispersed in the hydrophilic colloidal layers; and the spectral absorption peak wave lengths of each of the colored dyes lying in the range represented by the following relationship (I): ½ (λy + λc) ≧ λm ≧ ½ (λy + λc)-10 (I) λc = Spectral absorption peak wave length (nm) of the colored cyan dye λm = Spectral absorption peak wave length (nm) of the colored magenta dye λy = Spectral absorption peak wave length (nm) of the colored yellow dye wherein R₁, R₂ and R₄ each independently represent a substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic group; R₃, R₅ and R₆ each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic, aromatic or acylamino group, R₂ and R₃ may form a nitrogen-containing 5- or 6- membered ring; R₇ represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent; R₈ represents a substituted or unsubstituted N-phenylcarbamoyl group; Za and Zb each independently represent methine, substituted methine, =N-or -NH-; and Y₁, Y₂, Y₃ and Y₄ each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a group eliminable on coupling with the oxidized form of the developing agent. According to the present invention this color print is obtained by a process which comprises the steps of: imagewise exposing to light a silver halide photosensitive material and then subjecting the exposed silver halid material to colour development, the silver halide photosensitive material containing a reflecting support having provided thereon a red sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing at least one of the couplers represented by the following general formulae (I) and/or (II), a green sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing at least one of the couplers represented by the following general formula (III), and a blue sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing at least one of the couplers represented by the following general formula (IV); each of these couplers existing in droplets of a high boiling organic solvent and/or water insoluble high molecular weight compound each having a dielectric constant of 2 to 20 at 25°C and a refractive index of 1.3 to 1.7 at 25°C, said couplers being dispersed in the respective emulsion layers, and the spectral absorption peak wavelengths of the respective colored dyes as formed by the coupling reaction of the respective couplers with the oxidized form of a para-phenylenediamine developing agent lying in the range represented by the following relationship (I): ½ (λy + λc) ≧ λm ≧ ½ (λy + λc)-10 (I) λc = Spectral absorption peak wave length (nm) of the colored cyan dye λm = Spectral absorption peak wave length (nm) of the colored magenta dye λy = Spectral absorption peak wave length (nm) of the colored yellow dye wherein R₁, R₂ and R₄ each independently represent a substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic group; R₃, R₅ and R₆ each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic, aromatic or acylamino group, R₂ and R₃ may form a nitrogen-containing 5- or 6-membered ring; R₇ represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent; R₈ represents a substituted or unsubstituted N-phenylcarbamoyl group; Za and Zb each independently represent a methine, a substituted methine, =N- or -NH-; and Y₁, Y₂, Y₃ and Y₄ each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a group eliminable on coupling with the oxidized form of the developing agent. The spectral absorption spectrum and spectral absorption peak wavelength of the colored dye is almost determined by the structures of the used couplers and color developing agent, and the physical properties of high boiling solvent(s) to be used as dispersion medium(s) of the dyes, especially the dielectric properties and refraction index (The Journal of Physical Chemistry, 61 , 562 (1857)). It is further possible to change the sharpness of the absorption to some extent by changing the ratio of the high boiling solvent with each coupler. Firstly it is necessary to sharpen the absorption spectrum of the colored dye in order to enhance the brilliantness of the color by improving the color reproduction. Particularly for regions such as red, purple and blue which are important as color reproduction regions, the subabsorption is preferably diminished in the cyan region and yellow region of the magenta dye as much as possible. Three factors were mentioned as factors which greatly govern the spectral absorption characteristics of the colored dye, and the most governing factor is the coupler. It has been found that by using a coupler represented by the general formula (III) the subabsorption in the cyan and yellow regions is remarkably diminished, and at the same time the saturation of the region from red to blue via purple is enhanced and the region wherein color reproduction is possible is greatly extended. However, it has been found that the improvement of color reproduction using a coupler represented by the general formula (III) makes the observation light source dependency at the same time remarkably worse. The extent of deterioration of the dependency was far beyond the level generally forecast as the result of the spectral absorption characteristics of the colored dye was sharpened. As for observation light source dependency, there is a detailed description in the Journal of Photographic Science, 20 , 149 (1972). In the literature, by using a colored dye which is used in a conventional color photograph, relations between the absorption wavelength peaks of the respective dyes which give the best observation light source dependency are determined. The relations exhibited therein are shown below as the relationships (II) and (III): λy ≃ λm - 90 (II) λm ≃ 3/5λc + 140 (III) The present inventors have produced a color photographic photosensitive material wherein the relationships (II) and (III) are satisfied by using a coupler represented by the general formula(e) (I) and/or (II), a coupler represented by the general formula (III) and a coupler represented by the general formula (IV) and changing, for example, their structures, the polarity of a high boiling solvent used as a dispersion medium thereof, and the used ratio of the solvent to each coupler. Nevertheless, the observation light source dependency has been remarkably bad. The present inventors have further investigated the observation light source dependencies of samples wherein the peak wavelengths of these colored dyes are changed, and have found that the optimum region for holding the observation light source dependency small exists in a region utterly different from the region shown by the relationships (II) and (III). It has been found that the optimum region is defined by the relationship (I) and that it has relation to the spectral absorption peak wavelengths of the cyan-, magenta-and yellow-colored dyes. This discovery was utterly unexpected, and has made the present invention possible which exceeds the usual conception in epochally improving the color reproduction and simultaneously improving the observation light source dependency. Preferred spectral absorption peak wavelengths of the cyan-colored dye, the magenta-colored dye and the yellow-colored dye are respectively 665±15nm, 542.5±15nm and 440±15nm, further preferably 665±10nm, 542.5±10nm and 440±10nm. When Y₁, Y₂, Y₃ or Y₄ in the above general formula (I), (II), (III) or (IV) represents a coupling-off group, the coupling-off group is such a group that bonds the coupling active carbon to an aliphatic group, an aromatic group, a heterocyclic group, an aliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic sulfonyl group, or an aliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic carbonyl group through an oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur or carbon atom; a halogen atom; or an aromatic azo group. The aliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic group contained in these eliminable groups may be substituted with substituent(s) permitted for R₁, and when there are two or more of these substituents, which may be the same or different, these substituents may further have substituent(s) permitted for R₁.

A coupler represented by the general formula (I) and/or (II), (III), or (IV) is contained in each silver halide emulsion layer which ordinarily composes a photosensitive layer in an amount of 0.1 to 1.0 mole, preferably 0.1 to 0.5 mole per 1 mole of silver halide. The ratio of amounts of couplers represented by the general formula (I) and/or (II), the general formula (III) and the general formula (IV) to be used is ordinarily in a range of about 1:0.2-1.5:0.5-1.5 in molar ratio, but it is possible to use a photosensitive material produced using a ratio beyond the range. Various known techniques can be applied in the present invention in order to add an aforementioned coupler to the photosensitive layer. The coupler is ordinarily added thereto according to an oil-in-water dispersion method which is known as an oil protect method, and in this instance ordinarily the coupler is dissolved in a solvent and the solution is added to an aqueous gelatin solution containing a surfactant to make an emulsion where the coupler is dispersed. However it is also possible that water or an aqueous gelatin solution are added to a coupler solution containing a surfactant to cause phase immersion and make an oil-in-water dispersion. Further, an alkali soluble coupler may also be dispersed according to a so-called Fischer dispersion method. It is also possible to mix the coupler dispersion after removal of the low boiling organic solvent therefrom by a method such as distillation, noodle water washing or ultrafiltration with a photographic emulsion. A high boiling organic solvent and/or a water insoluble high molecular compound each having a dielectric constant of 2 to 20 (25°C) and a refractive index of 1.3 to 1.7 (25°C) is used as a dispersion medium of such a coupler. In proportion as the dielectric constant or the refractive index becomes larger, the spectral absorption peak wave length of the colored dye becomes longer. As the high boiling organic solvent, an organic solvent having a boiling point of 160°C or more, for example, an alkyl phthalate (for example, dibutyl phthalate or dioctyl phthalate), a phophoric ester (for example, diphenyl phosphate, triphenyl phosphate, tricresyl phosphate or dioctyl butyl phosphate), a citric ester (for example, tributyl acetylcitrate), or benzoic ester (for example, octyl benzoate), an alkylamide (for example, diethyllaurylamide), an aliphatic ester (for example, dibutoxyethyl succinate or dioctyl azelate), or a phenol (for example, 2,4-di(t)-aminophenol) may be used. As the water insoluble high molecular compound, for example, a compound among those disclosed in the columns 18 to 21 of Japanese Published Examined Patent Application (hereinafter referred to as "J.P. KOKOKU") No.60-18978, a vinyl polymer (including both a homopolymer and a copolymer) wherein an acrylamide or a methacrylamide is used as a monomer component may be used. More specifically, for example, polymethyl methacrylate, polyethyl methacrylate, polybutyl methacrylate, polycyclohexyl methacrylate or poly-t-butylacrylamide is used. Further, together with these high boiling organic solvents and/or water insoluble high molecular compounds, low boiling organic solvents each having a boiling point of 30 to 150°C such as a lower alkyl acetate (e.g. ethyl acetate or butyl acetate), ethyl propionate, sec-butyl alcohol, methyl isobutyl ketone, β-ethoxyethyl acetate, and methyl cellosolve acetate may be used alone or in combination as required. Molecular weight or polymerization degree of the high molecular compound to be used in the present invention does not substantially influence the effects of the present invention. However, in proportion as the molecular weight of the high molecular compound becomes larger, it takes more time to dissolve it in an auxiliary solvent and the emulsification and dispersion become harder owing to the high viscosity of the solution, whereby coarse grains are formed. As the result, the problem that the coloring property of the colored dye is lowered or the coating property of the silver halide emulsion becomes worse is liable to occur. However, new problems are caused when a large amount of an auxiliary solvent is used as a counterplan therefore to lower the viscosity of the solution. From the above viewpoint, the viscosity of the high molecular compound when 30 g of the high molecular compound are dissolved in 100 ml of an auxiliary solvent is preferably 5000 mPa·s or less, further preferably 2000 mPa·s or less. The molecular weight of a high molecular compound usable in the present invention is preferably 150,000 or less, further preferably 80,000 or less, particularly 30,000 or less. The ratio of the high molecular compound to be used in the present invention to the auxiliary solvent is changed depending on, for example, the kind of high molecular compound to be used, its solubility in the auxiliary solvent, its polymerization degree and the solubility of the coupler. It is necessary in general that a solution obtained by dissolving two or three of a coupler, a high boiling organic solvent (a solvent of the coupler) and a high molecular compound in an auxiliary solvent has a viscosity so low that when the solution is added to water or an aqueous hydrophilic colloidal solution, followed by mixing, the solute in the former solution may easily be dispersed in the mixture. The amount of the auxiliary solvent to be used is determined from such a viewpoint. On the other hand, since in proportion as the polymerization degree of the high molecular compound is made higher, the viscosity of the solution becomes higher, it is difficult to uniformly determine a ratio of the high molecular compound to the auxiliary solvent regardless of the kind of high molecular compound. However, a range of about 1:1 to 1:50 (weight ratio) is in general preferable. The ratio (weight ratio) of the high molecular compound to the coupler is preferably 1:20 to 20:1, further preferably 1:10 to 10:1. It is possible to select two or more kinds of couplers from the coupler groups of the same hue represented by the general formulae (I) and/or (II), or the general formulae (III) and (IV), and use them together. In this occasion, the couplers may be co-emulsified, or each coupler may separately be emulsified, followed by mixing. Further, it is also possible to use the coupler together with a hereinafter-described fading inhibitor. Special couplers other than the couplers of the present invention represented by the afore-mentioned general formulae can be contained in the photosensitive material of the present invention, if required. For example, it is possible to obtain a masking effect by incorporating a colored magenta coupler in the green sensitive emulsion layer. It is also possible to co-exist, for example, a development inhibitor-releasing coupler (DIR coupler) and a development inhibitor-releasing hydroquinone in an emulsion layer of each color sensitivity or in a layer adjacent thereto. The development inhibitor released from the compound during development brings about interlayer effect(s) such as improvement of the sharpness of the image, fine granulation of the image and/or improvement of the monochromatic saturation. It is also possible to obtain such effect(s) as improvement of the photographic sensitivity, improvement of the graininess of the color image and/or contrast development of the gradation by adding to the photographic emulsion layer(s) or adjacent layer(s) thereof a coupler which releases a development accelerator or a nucleating agent during the silver development. An ultraviolet absorber can be added to any layer in the present invention. Preferably, the ultraviolet absorber is contained in a layer containing a compound represented by the general formula (I) or (II) or a layer adjacent thereto. Ultraviolet absorbers usable in the present invention are compounds enumerated in item C of VIII in Research Disclosure No.17643, and are preferably benzotriazole derivatives represented by the following general formula (XII). wherein R₂₈, R₂₉, R₃₀, R₃₁ and R₃₂ which may be the same or different, each are a hydrogen atom or an aromatic group which may be substituted with a substituent permitted for R₁, and R₃₁ and R₃₂ may combine to form a 5- or 6-membered aromatic ring composed of carbon atoms. Groups capable of having a substituent among these groups may further respectively be substituted by a substituent permitted for R₁. Compounds represented by the above general formula (XVII) may be used alone or in combination. Methods for the synthesis of the compounds represented by the above general formula (XVII) or examples of other ultraviolet absorbers are disclosed, for example, in J.P. KOKOKU No.44-29620, Japanese Published Unexamined Patent Application (hereinafter referred to as "J.P. KOKAI") Nos.50-151149 and 54-95233, U.S. Patent No.3,766,205, EP0057160 and Research Disclosure No.22519 (1983, No.225). Further, it is also possible to use the ultraviolet absorbers of high molecular weights disclosed in J.P. KOKAI Nos.58-11942, 57-61937, 57-63602, 57-129780 and 57-133371. It is also possible to use a low molecular and a high molecular ultraviolet absorber together. The above ultraviolet absorber is dissolved in a high boiling organic solvent, a low boiling organic solvent or a mixed solvent thereof, and dispersed in a hydrophilic colloid. Though there is no special limitation of the amounts of the high boiling organic solvent and ultraviolet absorber, the high boiling organic solvent is preferably used in an amount of 0 to 300% based on the weight of the ultraviolet absorber. The use of the compounds which are liquid alone or in combination at ordinary temperature is preferred. It is possible to improve the preservability, above all light fastness of the image of a colored dye, especially the cyan image by using an ultraviolet absorber of the afore-mentioned general formula (XVII) together with a combination of couplers according to the present invention. This ultraviolet absorber and the cyan coupler may be co-emulsified. It is adequate that the amount of the ultraviolet absorber to be coated is a sufficient amount to give the cyan dye image light stability, and when a too high amount of the ultraviolet absorber is used, the non-exposed area (white matrix area) of the color photographic photosensitive material sometimes turns yellow. From the foregoing, the amount of the ultraviolet absorber to be coated is usually selected from a range of 1x10⁻⁴ to 2x10⁻³ mole/m², above all 5x10⁻⁴ to 1.5x10⁻³ mole/m². In a construction of the photosensitive material layers of an ordinal color paper, the ultraviolet absorber is contained in at least one, preferably both of the two layers adjacent to the cyan coupler-containing red sensitive emulsion layer. When the ultraviolet absorber is added to the intermediate layer between the green sensitive layer and red sensitive layer, the absorber may be co-emulsified with a color mixing inhibitor. When the ultraviolet absorber is added to the protective layer, another protective layer may be set up by coating the most outside layer. It is possible to incorporate, for example, a matting agent of any grain size in this protective layer. It is possible to use various organic series and metal complex series of fading inhibitors together in order to enhance the preservability of the colored dye images, particularly of the yellow and magenta images. As organic fading inhibitors, for example, hydroquinones, gallic acid derivatives, p-alkoxyphenols and p-oxyphenols can be used and as dye image stabilizers, stain inhibitors or antioxidant of patents cited in items I and J of VII of Research Disclosure No.17643 can be used. Further, metal complex series fading inhibitors are disclosed, for example, in Research Disclosure No.15162. In order to improve the fastness of a yellow image against heat and light, phenols, hydroquinones, hydroxychromans, hydroxycoumaranes, hindered amines, and many compounds which belong to alkyl ether, silyl ether or hydrolyzable precursor derivatives of these compounds may be used. Compounds represented by the following general formulae (XVIII) or (XIX) are effective for improving the light fastness and heat fastness of the yellow image obtained from a coupler of the general formula (IV) together. In the above general formula (XVIII) or (XIX), R₄₀ represents a hydrogen atom, an aliphatic group, an aromatic group, a heterocyclic group or a substituted silyl group represented by the formula wherein R₅₀, R₅₁ and R₅₂, which may be the same or different, each independently represent an aliphatic group, an aromatic group, an aliphatic oxy group or an aromatic oxy group, and these groups may have a substituent permitted for R₁. R₄₁, R₄₂, R₄₃, R₄₄ and R₄₅, which may be the same or different, each independently represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group, an alkoxy group, a hydroxyl group, a mono or dialkylamino group, an imino group or acylamino group. R₄₆, R₄₇, R₄₈ and R₄₉, which may be the same or different, each independently represent a hydrogen atom or alkyl group. X represents a hydrogen atom, an aliphatic group, an acyl group, an aliphatic or aromatic sulfonyl group, an aliphatic or aromatic sulfinyl group, an oxyradical group or a hydroxyl group. A represents a nonmetal atomic group necessary for forming a 5-, 6- or 7-membered ring. Methods for synthesizing compounds represented by the general formula (XVIII) or (XIX) or examples of other compounds than those above-mentioned are disclosed in U.K. Patent Nos.1,326,889, 1,354,313 and 1,410,846, U.S. Patent Nos.3,336,135 and 4,268,593, J.P. KOKOKU Nos.51-1420 and 52-6623, and J.P. KOKAI Nos.58-114036 and 59-5246. Two or more of the compounds represented by the general formula (XVIII) or (XIX) may be used together, and the compound may be used in combination with a hitherto known fading inhibitor. Though the amount of a compound represented by the general formula (XVIII) or (XIX) to be used is varied depending on the kind of yellow coupler to be used in combination therewith, the desired object can generally be attained by using the former compound in the range of 0.5 to 200% by weight, preferably 2 to 150% by weight based on the yellow coupler. It is preferable to co-emulsify the compound with a yellow coupler of the general formula (IV). The afore-mentioned various dye image stabilizers, stain inhibitors or antioxidants are effective even for improvement of the preservability of the magenta-colored dye formed from a coupler of the general formula (III) of the present invention, and compounds represented by the following general formulae (XX), (XXI), (XXII), (XXIII), (XXIV) or (XXV) are particularly preferable as they greatly improve the light fastness. In the above general formulae (XX) to (XXV), R₆₀ has the same meaning as R₄₀ of the general formula (XVIII), and R₆₁, R₆₂, R₆₄ and R₆₅, which may be the same or different, each independently represent a hydrogen atom, an aliphatic group, an aromatic group, an acylamino group, a mono or dialkylamino group, an aliphatic or aromatic thio group, an acylamino group, an aliphatic or aromatic oxycarbonyl group or -OR₄₀ group. R₄₀ and R₆₁ may combine to form a 5- or 6-membered ring. Further R₆₁ and R₆₂ may combine to form a 5- or 6-membered ring. X represents a bivalent connecting group. R₆₆ and R₆₇, which may be the same or different, each independently represent a hydrogen atom, an aliphatic group, an aromatic group or hydroxyl group. R₆₈ represents a hydrogen atom, an aliphatic group or an aromatic group. R₆₆ and R₆₇ may combine to form a 5- or 6-membered ring. M represents Cu, Co, Ni, Pd or Pt. When the substituents R₆₁ to R₆₈ are aliphatic groups or aromatic groups, they may each be substituted by a substituent permitted for R₁. n represents 0 or an integer of 1 to 3, and m represents 0 or an integer of 1 to 4. n and m each represent substitution numbers of R₆₂ and R₆₁, and when they are 2 or more, R₆₂ or R₆₁ groups may be the same or different. Typical examples of preferred X groups in the general formula (XXIV) include, for example, and therein R₇₀ represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group. In the general formula (XXV), a preferred R₆₁ group is a group capable of forming a hydrogen bond. Such compounds wherein at least one of the groups represented by R₆₂, R₆₃ and R₆₄ is (are) hydrogen atom(s), hydroxyl group(s), alkyl group(s) or alkoxy group(s) are preferable, and it is preferable that the substituents R₆₁ to R₆₈ are such substituents that the total number of carbon atoms contained in each is 4 or more. Methods for synthesis of these and other compounds are disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos.3,336,135, 3,432,300, 3,573,050, 3,574,627, 3,700,455, 3,764,337, 3,935,016, 3,982,944, 4,254,216 and 4,279,990, U.K. Patent Nos.1,347,556, 2,062,888, 2,066,975 and 2,077,455, J.P. KOKAI Nos.60-97353, 52-152225, 53-17729, 53-20327, 54-145530, 55-6321, 55-21004, 58-24141 and 59-10539, and J.P. KOKOKU Nos.48-31625 and 54-12337. Each of the compounds represented by the general formulae (XX) to (XXIV) which are fading inhibitors advantageously used in the present invention is added in the ratio of 10 to 200 mole %, preferably 30 to 100 mole % based on the magenta coupler used in the present invention. On the other hand, a compound respresented by the general formula (XXV) is added in the ratio of 1 to 100 mole %, preferably 5 to 40 mole % based on the magenta coupler used in the present invention. Each of these compounds is preferably co-emulsified with the magenta coupler. Techniques for decoloration inhibition where the dye image is enclosed with an oxygen barrier composed of a susbtance having a low oxygen transmission factor are disclosed in J.P. KOKAI Nos.49-11330 and 50-57223. Further, it is disclosed in J.P. KOKAI No.56-85747 that a layer having an oxygen transmission factor of 20 ml/m².hr. atom or less is provided on the support side of the dye image-forming layer of a color photographic photosensitive material. These techniques may be applied to the present invention. Various silver halides may be used in the silver halide emulsion layers. Such silver halides include, for exmaple, silver chloride, silver bromide, silver chlorobromide, silver iodobromide and silver bromochloroiodide. The halogen composition of the silver halide may be freely chosen according to the object and without specific limitation. Silver chlorobromide having a silver bromide content of 10 mole % or less is especially preferred for rapid processing of a color paper. There is no restriction of, for example, the crystal shape, crystal structure, grain size and grain size distribution of silver halide grains. However, monodispersed silver halide emulsions containing silver halide grains having a coefficient of variation of 0.15 or less, preferably 0.10 or less are preferably used. The crystals of silver halide may be regular crystals or twined crystals, and may also be any of a hexahedron, octahedron or tetradecahedron. Further, the crystals may be tabular grains which have thicknesses of 0.5 µm or less, sizes of at least 0.6 µm and an average aspect ratio of 5 or more. Preferably, silver halide grains contained in at least one of silver halide emulsion layers are mainly regular crystals of cubic or tetradecahedral form. The crystal structure may be uniform or may have a composition different in the inside and outside, may also be a layer structure, may be a structure wherein silver halides having different compositions are conjugated by epitaxial conjunction, or may be composed of a mixture of grains of various crystal shapes. Further, the silver halide grains may be those which form latent images mainly on the grain surfaces, or those which form them mainly inside the grains. The silver halides may be fine grains each having a grain size of 0.1 µm or less, or large-sized grains each having a diameter of the projected surface area reaching to 3 µm. The silver halide emulsion may be a monodispersed emulsion having a narrow distribution or a multi-dispersed emulsion having a wide distribution. These silver halide grains may be prepared according to known methods which have usually been used in the art. The aforesaid silver halide emulsion may be sensitized by a usual chemical sensitization, namely sulfur sensitization, noble metal sensitization or combination thereof. Either a transparent support such as polyethylene terephthalate or cellulose triacetate or a reflecting support described below may be used as a support in the present invention. The preferred support is a reflecting support, examples of which include a baryta paper, a polyethylene-coated paper, a polypropylene series synthetic paper, and a transparent support such as a glass plate, a polyester film (e.g., a polyethylene terephthalate, cellulose triacetate or cellulose nitrate film), a polyamide film, a polycarbonate film or a polystyrene film, this transparent support having provided thereon a reflecting layer or being used in combination with a reflecting material. A support to be specifically used is appropriately selected from these supports based on the purpose of use. Blue sensitive, green sensitive and red sensitive emulsions used in the present invention are emulsions spectrally sensitized so as to, for example, have respective color sensitivities with methine dyes. Examples of dyes to be used include cyanine dyes, merocyanine dyes, complex cyanine dyes, complex merocyanine dyes, holopolar cyanine dyes, hemicyanine dyes, styryl dyes and hemioxonol dyes. Especially useful dyes are cyanine dyes, merocyanine dyes and complex merocyanine dyes. Any nucleus usually utilized in a cyanine dye as a basic heterocyclic nucleus is applicable to these dyes. That is to say, for example, a pyrroline nucleus, an oxazoline nucleus, a thiazoline nucleus, a pyrrole nucleus, an oxazole nucleus, a thiazole nucleus, a selenazole nucleus, an imidazole nucleus, a tetrazole nucleus or a pyridine nucleus; or a nucleus where an alicyclic hydrocarbon ring or an aromatic hydrocarbon ring is fused with one of these nuclei, for example, an indolenine nucleus, a benzindolenine nucleus, an indole nucleus, a benzoxazole nucleus, a naphthoxazole nucleus, a benzothiazole nucleus, a naphthothiazole nucleus, a benzoselenazole nucleus, a benzimidazole nucleus or a quinoline nucleus is applicable. These nuclei may each have substituent(s) on the carbon atom(s). A 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic nucleus having a ketomethylene structure such as a pyrazolin-5-one nucleus, a thiohydantoin nucleus, a 2-thiooxazolidin-2,4-dione nucleus, a thiazolidin-2-4-dione nucleus, a rhodanine nucleus or a thiobarbituric acid nucleus is applicable to a merocyanine dye or a complex merocyanine dye. These sensitizing dyes may be used alone or in combination, and a combination of sensitizing dyes is often used especially for the purpose of supersensitization. Typical examples of such combinations are disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos.2,688,545, 2,977,229, 3,397,060, 3,522,052, 3,527,641, 3,617,293, 3,628,964, 3,666,480, 3,672,898, 3,679,428, 3,703,377, 3,769,301, 3,814,609, 3,837,862 and 4,026,707, U.K. Patent Nos.1,344,281 and 1,507,803, J.P. KOKOKU Nos.43-4936 and 53-12375, and J.P. KOKAI Nos.52-110618 and 52-109925. A substance which exhibits supersensitization but which is a dye not having a spectral sensitization effect or a substance not substantially absorbing a visible light, may be contained in the emulsion together with a sensitizing dye. An auxiliary layer such as an undercoat layer, an intermediate layer or a protective layer may be provided besides the above construction layers in a color photographic photosensitive material in accordance with the present invention. Further, the second ultraviolet-absorbing layer may be provided between red sensitive silver halide emulsion layer(s) and green sensitive silver halide emulsion layer(s), as required. It is preferred to use an afore-mentioned ultraviolet absorber for the second ultraviolet-absorbing layer, but other known ultraviolet absorbers may also be used. Gelatin is advantageously used as a bonding agent or a protective colloid of the photographic emulsion. However, other hydrophilic colloids may be used, and these include for example, proteins such as a gelatin derivative, a graft polymer of gelatin and another high molecular compound, albumin and casein; cellulose derivatives such as hydroxyethylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose and cellulose sulfate ester; sugar derivatives such as sodium alginate and a starch derivative; and various synthetic hydrophilic high molecular substances such as homopolymers or copolymers of polyvinyl alcohol, partly acetalized polyvinyl alcohol, poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone, polyacrylic acid, polymethacrylic acid, polyacrylamide, polyvinylimidazole and polyvinylpyrazole. Lime-treated gelatin, acid-treated gelatin or such enzyme-treated gelatin as disclosed in Bull. Soc. Sci. Photo. Japan No.16, 30 (1966) may be used as gelatin, and a hydrolyzate or enzyme-decomposed substances of gelatin may also be used. A brightener belonging, for example, to stilbene series, triazine series, oxazole series or coumarin series may be contained in hydrophilic colloidal layers of, for example, the photographic emulsion layers in the photosensitive material. These brighteners may be water soluble; a water-insoluble brightener may be used in the form of a dispersion. Specific examples of fluorescent brighteners are disclosed, for example, in U.S. Patent Nos.2,632,701, 3,269,840 and 3,359,102, U.K. Patent Nos.852,075 and 1,319,763 and the item of Brighteners at lines 9 to 36, left column in page 24 of Research Disclosure 176 , No.17643 (published in December, 1978). When, e.g., a dye and an ultraviolet absorber are contained in the hydrophilic colloidal layer(s) of a photosensitive material used in the present invention, they may be mordanted with, e.g., a cationic polymer. Examples of such cationic polymers are disclosed in, for example, U.K. Patent No.685,475, U.S. Patent Nos.2,675,316, 2,839,401, 2,882,156, 3,048,487, 3,184,309 and 3,445,231, West Germany Patent Application (OLS) No.1,914,362, J.P. KOKAI Nos.50-41624 and 50-71332. The photosensitive material used in the present invention may contain as an anticolorfoggant a hydroquinone derivative, an aminophenol derivative, a gallic acid derivative, or an ascorbic acid derivative, and examples thereof are disclosed in, e.g., U.S. Patent Nos.2,360,290, 2,336,327, 2,403,721, 2,418,613, 2,675,314, 2,701,197, 2,704,713, 2,728,659, 2,732,300 and 2,735,756, J.P. KOKAI Nos.50-92988, 50-92989, 50-93928, 50-110337 and 52-146235, J.P. KOKOKU No.50-23813. Various photographic additives other than the above-described additives are known in the field like, for example, a stabilizer, an antifoggant, a surfactant, a coupler other than those necessitated for the present invention, a filter dye, an irradiation inhibitor and a developing agent each may be added to the color photographic photosensitive material, as required. Further, in some occasions, a fine grain silver halide emulsion having no substantial photosensitivity (for example, a silver chloride, silver bromide or silver chlorobromide emulsion having an average grain size of 0:20 µm or less) may be added to the silver halide emulsion layer(s) or another hydrophilic colloidal layer. A color developing solution usable in the present invention is an aqueous alkaline solution containing a paraphenylenediamine series color developing agent as a main component. Typical examples of the color developing agents include 4-amino-N,N-diethylaniline, 3-methyl-4-amino-N,N-diethylaniline, 4-amino-N-ethyl-N-β-hydroxyethylaniline, 3-methyl-4-amino-N-ethyl-N-β-hydroxyethylaniline, 3-methyl-4-amino-N-ethyl-N-β-methanesulfonamidoethylaniline and 4-amino-3-methyl-N-ethyl-N-β-methoxyethylaniline. The color developing solution may contain, for example, a pH buffer such as a sulfite, carbonate, borate or phosphate of an alkali metal, a development inhibitor or antifoggant such as a bromide, an iodide or an organic antifoggant, and the like. The color developing solution may further contain a water softener, a preservative such as hydroxylamine, a development accelerator such as polyethylene glycol, a quaternary ammonium salt or an amine, a dye-forming coupler, a competing coupler, a fogging agent such as sodium borohydride, an auxiliary developing agent such as 1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidone, a thickner, a polycarboxylic acid series chelating agent disclosed in U.S. Patent No.4,083,723 or an antioxidant disclosed in OLS No.2,622,950, as required. Though a compound such as benzyl alcohol which promotes color development by promoting the coupling reaction may be contained therein, such a compound that promotes the coupling generally makes the spectral absorption spectrum of the colored dye broader and makes the color reproduction thereof worse; therefore, it is not preferably used in the present invention. When used, the preferred amount of benzyl alcohol is 20 ml or less, particularly 5 ml or less per 1 l of the color developing solution. After color development the photographic emulsion layer is usually subjected to a bleaching process. The bleaching process may be carried out simultaneously with or independently from a fixing process. Examples of a bleaching agent include, for example, a polyvalent metal such as iron (III), cobalt (III), chromium (VI) or copper (II), a per acid, a quinone and a nitroso compound. More specifically, for example, a ferricyanide; a dichromate; a complex salt of iron (III) or cobalt (III) with an organic acid such as an aminopolycarboxylic acid (e.g.,. ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, nitrilotriacetic acid or 1,3-diamino-2-propanoltetraacetic acid); citric acid, tartaric acid or malic acid; a persulfate; a permanganate or nitrosophenol may be used as the bleaching agent. Potassium ferricyanide, sodium (ethylenediaminetetraacetato) iron (III) and ammonium (ethylenediaminetetraacetato) iron (III) are particularly useful among them. A (Ethylenediaminetetraacetato) iron (III) complex is useful both in an independent bleaching solution and in a single bath bleach-fixing solution. Water washing may be carried out after the color developing or bleach-fixing process. Color development may be carried out at any temperature between 18°C and 55°C, preferably at a temperature of 30°C or more, particularly 35°C or more. Generally the time required for development is about 3.5 min or less, and a shorter time is preferable. A replenisher is preferably used in a continuous developing process, in an amount of 330 to 160 ml, preferably 100 ml or less per 1 m² of the area to be processed. Bleach-fixing may be carried out at any temperature of 18 to 50°C, preferably at a temperature of 30°C or more. At a temperature of 35°C or more, it is possible to make the process time one minute or less and to make the amount of the replenisher smaller. The time required for water washing after the color development or bleach-fixing is usually no more than 3 min, and it is also possible to make it one min by using such a multi-step counterflow stabilization process as disclosed in J.P. KOKAI No.57-8543. The colored dye deteriorates by light, heat or temperature, and also deteriorates and fades during preservation due to molds. The cyan image greatly deteriorates particularly due to molds, and an antimold is preferably used. Specific examples of the antimolds are such 2-thiazolylbenzimidazoles as disclosed in J.P. KOKAI No.57-157244. The antimold may be contained in the photosensitive material or is added from the outside in the development process step, or may further be added in any process step as long as it exists in the photosensitive material after processing. The present invention is further explained by the examples below. Example 1 A color photographic paper wherein layers having the compositions shown in the following Table 1 were provided on a paper support, both faces of which had been laminated with polyethylene, was produced. Coating solutions were prepared as follows. Preparation of the 1st layer coating solution 10 ml of ethyl acetate and 4 ml of the solvent (c) were added to 10 g of yellow coupler (a) and 23 g of dye image stabilizer (b) to make a solution. The solution was emulsified and dispersed in 90 ml of an aqueous 10% gelatin solution containing 5 ml of 10% sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate. On the other hand, a blue sensitive dye shown below was added to a silver chlorobromide emulsion (ratio of silver bromide 80 mole %, silver content 70 g/kg) in an amount of 4x10⁻⁴ moles per 1 mole of silver chlorobromide to obtain a blue sensitive emulsion. The emulsified dispersion and the emulsion were mixed to make a solution. The concentration of the solution was adjusted with gelatin so that the solution had the composition shown in Table 1, whereby the 1st layer coating solution was prepared. The silver halide emulsion (1) used in the example in accordance with the present invention was prepared in the following manner. Liquid 1 H₂O 1000 ml, NaCl 5.5 g, Gelatin 25 g Liquid 2 Sulfuric acid (IN) 20 ml Liquid 3 The following compound (1%) 2 ml Liquid 4 KBr 2.80 g, NaCl 0.34 g, with addition of 140 ml water Liquid 5 AgNO₃ 5 g, with addition of 140 ml water Liquid 6 KBr 67.20 g, NaCl 8.26 g, K₂IrCl₆(0.001%) 0.7 ml, with addition of 320 ml water Liquid 7 AgNO₃ 120 g, NH₄NO₃ (50%) 2 ml, with addition of 320 ml water Liquid 1 was heated to 75°C, and Liquid 2 and Liquid 3 were added thereto. Then, Liquid 4 and Liquid 5 were simultaneously added thereto over a period of 9 min. 10 min thereafter, Liquid 6 and Liquid 7 were simultaneously added thereto over a period of 45 min. 5 min thereafter, the temperature of the mixture was lowered to carry out desalting. Water and a dispersed gelatin were added thereto and the pH of the mixture was adjusted to 6.2, whereby a monodispersed cubic silver chlorobromide emulsion of 80 mole % silver bromide having an average grain size of 1.01 µm and a variation coefficient (a value given by dividing standard deviation by the average grain size; S/d) or 0.08 was obtained. This emulsion was treated with sodium thiosulfate to give the optimum chemical sensitizaton. The silver chlorobromide emulsions (2) and (3) of the green sensitive and red sensitive emulsion layers were each prepared in the same manner as above-described with varying amounts of the chemicals, temperatures and times. The emulsion (2) was a monodispersed cubic silver chlorobromide of 75 mole % silver bromide having a grain size of 0.45 µm and a variation coefficient of 0.07, and the emulsion (3) was a monodispersed cubic silver chlorobromide of 70 mole % silver bromide having a grain size of 0.51 µm and a variation coefficient of 0.07. The structures of compounds such as couplers used in this example are as follows: The following dyes were used as irradiation inhibiting dyes of the respective emulsion layers. The following dyes were used as sensitizing dyes of the respective emulsion layers. After the surface tension and viscosity balance of the coating solutions of the 1st to 7th layers were adjusted these were coated on a paper support both faces of which had been laminated with polyethylene, to produce the sample 101. The samples 102 to 116 were produced in the same manner as described above except the alternation shown in Table 2. These samples were respectively subjected to an exposure to light where the exposure values of the three colors red, green and blue were each adjusted so that the densities in gray became 1.0 when these samples were observed under a fluorescent lamp for color evaluation (FL40SW-50-EDL manufactured by Toshiba Co., Ltd.) having a color temperature of 5000 K. Further, these exposed samples that were each colored to cyan, magenta, yellow, blue, green and red under the same exposure values as those described above by single exposures of respective red, green and blue and combined exposures of respective (red + green), (red + blue) and (green + blue) lights, were each produced and subjected to a development process according to the following processing steps. The measurement of the densities was carried out by FSD-103 (manufactured by Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.) The composition of each processing solution is as follows. Developing solution formulation A Nitrilotriacetic acid 3Na 2.0 g Benzyl alcohol 15 ml Diethylene glycol 10 ml Na₂SO₃ 2.0 g KBr 0.5 g Hydroxylamine sulfate 3.0 g 4-Amino-3-methyl-N-ethyl-N-[β-(methansulfonamido)ethyl] -P-Phenylenediamine sulfate 5.0 g Na₂CO₃ monohydrate 30.0 g Total volume with addition of water 1000 ml (pH 10.1) Bleach-fixing solution formulation A Ammonium thiosulfate (54 wt %) 150 ml Na₂SO₃ 15 g NH₄[Fe(III)(EDTA) ] 55 g EDTA 2Na 4 g Total volume with addition of water 1000 ml (pH 6.9) The thus obtained samples which were each colored into gray, C, M, Y, B, G and R were each subjected to color measurement using M-307 type color analyzer manufactured by Hitachi Co., Ltd. With regard to the gray-colored sample, the average color difference ΔE between the color measured under FL40SW-50-EDL of 5000 K and the respective colors measured under respective light sources of (a) tungsten light of 2854 K, (b) a cool white fluorescent lamp (FL40SW-S) of 4200 K, (c) a daylight fluorescent lamp (FL40S-S) of 6500 K and (d) a three wavelength type fluorescent lamp (FL40S·EL) was calculated according to the CIE 1964 color difference formula. The smaller the color difference ΔE, the smaller the observation light source dependency. Further, with regard to each sample having a color of R, G, B, C, M or Y, plotting was conducted about the CIE 1964 even color space based on the results of the color measurement to evaluate the color reproduction. As for the evaluation of color reproduction, it is necessary to consider how brilliant the color is reproduced (saturation) and how "faithfully" the color is reproduced (hue). The saturation of a color may be represented by the area of the reproduction region in CIE 1964 even color space. It is necessary at that time to take the importance of each color into account in order to synthetically evaluate the changes of all colors. This method is disclosed in detail in Journal of Photographic Science 14 , 87 (1966), and according to this method, the distribution of importance of each color was conducted and the following A value was defined. It is noted that in proportion as this A value becomes larger, synthetic color reproduction region becomes broader. A = 32C R * + 28C G * + 24C B * + 16C Y * + 10C M * + 12C C * wherein Ci* = √ Ui*² + Vi*² (i = R, G, B, C, M or Y) Further, as for the "faithfulness" of the hue, the deviation from the sample 101 in magenta color is represented by the hue angle difference Δϑ in the CIE 1964 even color space. The CIE 1964 color difference is disclosed in detail in JIS Z8729-1970. The thus obtained ΔE, Δϑ and A values are shown in Table 3 with the peak wavelengths λ max of the dyes each singly colored into C, M and Y. In the color print of the present invention, it is desired that A is 109 or more, Δϑ is -5 to +5 and ΔE is 2.3 or less. It is seen from the results of Table 3 that a combination as in the present invention exhibits a more excellent color reproduction than a combination where a 5-pyrazolone type magenta coupler which has hitherto been used is used, and that there is a λ max region satisfying a desirable hue and a desirable observation light source dependency at the same time in a region different from the optimum λ max in the usual combination. Example 2 The emulsions used for the samples 101 to 116 produced in Example 1 were changed to the following silver chloride emulsions and further the sensitizing dyes and dyes were altered to produce the samples 201 to 216. Methods for preparing the silver chloride emulsions used in this example 2 are described below. Liquid 8 H₂O 1000 ml, NaCl 5.5 g, gelatin 32 g Liquid 9 Sulfuric acid (IN) 20 ml Liquid 10 The following compound (5%) 1.7 ml HOCH₂CH₂SCH₂CH₂SCH₂CH₂OH Liquid 11 NaCL 8.60 g, with addition of 130 ml H₂O Liquid 12 AgNO₃ 25 g, NH₄NO₃ (50%) 0.5 ml, with addition of 130 ml H₂O Liquid 13 NaCl 34.4 g, K₂IrCl₆ (0.001%) 0.7 ml, with addition of 285 ml H₂O Liquid 14 AgNO₃ 100 g, NH₄NO₃ (50%) 2 ml, with addition of 285 ml H₂O Liquid 8 was heated to 72°C and Liquid 9 and Liquid 10 were added thereto. Then, Liquid 11 and Liquid 12 were simultaneously added thereto over a period of 60 min. 10 min thereafter, Liquid 13 and Liquid 14 were simultaneously added thereto over a period of 25 min. 5 min after the addition, the temperature was lowered to carry out desalting. Water and dispersed gelatin were added thereto and the pH of the mixture was adjusted to 6.2, whereby a monodispersed cubic pure silver chloride emulsion having an average grain size of 0.8 µm and a variation coefficient of 0.1 was obtained. This emulsion was gold and sulfur sensitized. Gold was added thereto so as to make the concentration 1.0x10⁻⁵ moles/mole Ag and the optimum chemical sensitization was obtained with sodium thiosulfate. A silver halide emulsion having a silver chloride content of 99.5 mole % for the green sensitive layer was prepared in the following manner. Liquid 15 H₂O 1000 ml, NaCl 5.5 g, gelatin 32 g Liquid 16 Sulfuric acid (IN) 24 ml Liquid 17 Compound of Liquid 10 (1%) 3 ml Liquid 18 KBr 0.11 g, NaCl 10.95 g with addition of 220 ml H₂O Liquid 19 AgNO₃ 32 g, with addition of 200 ml H₂O Liquid 20 KBr 0.45 g, NaCl 43.81 g, K₂IrCl₆ (0.001%) 4.5 ml, with addition of 600 ml water Liquid 21 AgNO₃ 128 g, with addition of 600 ml H₂O Liquid 15 was heated to 40°C, and Liquid 16 and Liquid 17 were added. Then, Liquid 18 and Liquid 19 were simultaneously added over a period of 10 min. 10 min thereafter, Liquid 20 and Liquid 21 were simultaneously added over a period of 8 min. 5 min after the addition, the temperature was lowered to carry out desalting. Water and a dispersed gelatin were added thereto and the pH of the mixture was adjusted to 6.2, whereby a monodispersed cubic silver chlorobromide emulsion having an average grain size of 0.3 µm, a variation coefficient of 0.1 and a silver chloride ratio of 99.5 mole % was obtained. 4.1x10⁻⁵ moles/mole Ag of chloroauric acid was added to the emulsion to carry out gold sensitization. A monodispersed cubic silver chlorobromide emulsion for the red sensitive layer having an average grain size of 0.4 µm, a variation coefficient of 0.1 and a silver chloride ratio of 99 mole-% was obtained by the same manner as described above except for changing the compositions and temperatures of Liquid 18 and Liquid 20. This emulsion was subjected to gold and sulfur sensitizations. That is, 4.1×10⁻⁵ moles/mole Ag of gold was added to the emulsion, and the optimum chemical sensitization was carried out using sodium thiosulfate. Sensitizing dyes and irradiation inhibiting dyes used in this example are shown below. The thus obtained samples 201 to 216 were each exposed to light in the same manner as in Example 1, and then a process comprising the following steps was conducted. Temperature and time adopted in each step and formulations are described below. Process step Temperature Time Color developing (Formulation B) 35°C 45 s Bleach-fixing (Formulation B) 35°C 45 s Rinse 28-35°C 1 min 30 s Color developing solution formulation-B Water 800 cc Diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid 5Na salt 1.0 g Sodium sulfite 0.2 g N,N-Diethylhydroxylamine 4.2 g Potassium bromide 0.01 g Sodium chloride 1.5 g Tirethanolamine 8.0 g N-Ethyl-N-(β-methanesulfonamidoethyl)-3-methyl-4-aminoaniline sulfate 4.5 g Potassium carbonate 30.0 g 4,4'-Diaminostilbene series fluorescent whitener (Whitex 4 manufactured by Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd.) 2.0 g Total amount with addition of water 1000 ml (pH 10.1) Bleach-fixing solution formulation-B Water 700 ml Ammonium thiosulfate (54 wt %) 150 ml Sodium sulfite 15 g NH₄[Fe(III) (EDTA) ] 55 g EDTA 2Na (dihydrate) 4 g Glacial acetic acid 8.61 g Total amount with addition of water 1000 ml (pH 5.4) Rinse solution formulation EDTA 2Na (dihydrate) 0.4 g Total amount with addition of water 1000 ml (pH 4.7) Each sample was developed and colored into gray, C, M, Y, R, G and B and subjected to colorimetry according to the method of Example 1 to obtain the results shown in Table 4. Since benzyl alcohol was not contained in the color developing solution, the saturation was remarkably enhanced in the combination according to the present invention compared with the combination using the 5-pyrazolone type magenta coupler in Example 1. Similar results as in Example 1 were obtained at other points than the saturation point. As is seen from the foregoing, multi-layered silver halide photosensitive materials as used in the present invention gave an improved color reproduction, and the marring of the color balance of the images was small, even when the images were observed under different light sources.
