Patent ID: 7183044

Claim:
A silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material, having at least one blue-sensitive emulsion layer containing a yellow coupler, at least one green-sensitive emulsion layer containing a magenta coupler, and at least one red-sensitive emulsion layer containing a cyan coupler, on a support; wherein said blue-sensitive emulsion layer contains at least one coupler represented by formula (I); and wherein the silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material satisfies the following expression a-1) and/or b-1): wherein, in formula (I), Q represents a group of non-metal atoms necessary to form a 5- to 7-membered ring together with the —N═C—N(R1)-; R1 represents a substituent; R2 represents a substituent; m represents 0 (zero) or an integer of 1 to 5; when m is 2 or more, R2s may be the same or different from each other, or R2s may bond together 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; 0.5 ≦D max( UV )/ D min( UV )≦1.1 a-1): wherein Dmax(UV)/Dmin(UV) is the smallest value in a range of wavelength UV, in which UV is a wavelength within the range of 340 nm or more and 450 nm or less, among values represented by (an absorbance at a wavelength UV, for a portion having the yellow maximum color density)/(an absorbance at the wavelength UV, for a portion having the yellow minimum color density); 1300≦( B−C )/ A≦ 20000 b-1); wherein B represents the maximum color density of yellow, C represents the minimum color density of yellow, each of which means a transmission density when the support is a transmissive support, or a reflection density when the support is a reflective support; and A is an amount mol/m 2 of the coupler represented by formula (I) to be used.
