Patent ID: 7175976

Claim:
A silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material comprising a support having thereon at least one yellow color developable light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, at least one magenta color developable light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, and at least one cyan color developable light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer: which comprises at least one yellow dye-forming coupler represented by formula (I) and at least one magenta dye-forming coupler represented by formula (MC-I) each set forth below; wherein Q represents a group of non-metal atoms that form a 5- to 7-membered ring in combination with —N═C—N(R1 )—, R1 represents a substituent, R2 represents a substituent, m represents an integer of 0 to 5, when m is 2 or more, R2s may be the same or different, or R2s may bond each other to form a ring, and X represents a hydrogen atom or a group capable of being split-off upon a coupling reaction with an oxidized product of a developing agent; formula (MC-1) wherein R a1 represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent, one of G 1 and G 2 represents a carbon atom and the other one thereof represents a nitrogen atom, R a2 represents a substituent and bonds to the carbon atom represented by G 1 or G 2 , the substituent of R a1 or R a2 may further have a substituent, a polymer of the unit derived from formula (MC-I) may be formed via R a1 or R a2 , alternatively, the unit derived from formula (MC-I) may bond to a high molecular chain via R a1 or R a2 , and X a1 represents a hydrogen atom or a group that can split off through a coupling reaction with the oxidized product of an aromatic primary amine color-developing agent; wherein the silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material satisfies any of the condition 1) or 2) described below: Condition 1), in which silver halide emulsion to be contained in any of the light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers contains an iridium ion compound having at least one ligand of a 5-membered or 6-membered heterocyclic compound; and Condition 2), in which the silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material comprises at least one cyan dye-forming coupler represented by formula (A); wherein R 11 and R 12 each independently represent an alkyl group or an aryl group, J represents an alkylene group, and X represents a hydrogen atom or a group that can split off upon a reaction with an oxidized color developing agent.
