Electrophotographic toner

A set of toners comprising a yellow toner, a magenta toner, a cyan toner and a black toner for forming a full color image with an electrophotographic method,

• wherein the yellow toner comprises toner particles containing at least one pigment selected from the group consisting of C. I. Pigment Yellow 74, C I. Pigment Yellow 139, C. I. Pigment Yellow 155, C. I. Pigment Yellow 180 and C. I. Pigment Yellow 185;
• the magenta toner comprises toner particles containing a dye represented by Formula (X-1) and a metal compound represented by Formula (1);
• and
• the cyan toner comprises toner particles containing a silicon phthalocyanine represented by Formula (2):
• wherein, Rx1 and Rx2 each independently represent an alkyl group;
• Lx represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group;
• Gx1 represents an alkyl group of 2 or more carbon atoms;
• Gx2 represents an alkyl group or an aromatic hydrocarbon;
• Gx3 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, Gx4-CO—NH—, or Gx5-N(Gx6)-CO—, provided that Gx4 is a substituent, and Gx5 and Gx6 each independently represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent;
• and Qx1, Qx2, Qx3, Qx4, Qx5 each independently represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent,
