Color photographic materials containing cyan color-forming couplers

A silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material comprising a support having thereon at least one silver halide emulsion layer, said photographic light-sensitive material containing at least one cyan color-forming coupler represented by the following general formula (I):

• ##STR16## wherein l represents 0, 1 or 2;
• X represents a group of the formula (II):
• --O--(B).sub.a --(L.sub.1 --D).sub.b --L.sub.2 (II)
• capable of being released upon coupling reaction and having at least 6 carbon atoms and wherein in formula (II) L.sub.1 represents an alkylene group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms which may be substituted or a phenylene group having 6 to 12 carbon atoms which may be substituted;
• L.sub.2 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 8 to 22 carbon atoms which may be substituted or a phenyl group which may be substituted;
• b represents 0, 1 or 2;
• D represents a divalent connecting group;
• B represents a divalent or trivalent group of --CO--, --CO.sub.2 --, --SO.sub.2 -- or ##STR17## a represents 0 or 1 and when a is 1 and B is a trivalent group another --(L.sub.1 --D).sub.b --L.sub.2 group can be present,
• Y represents RCONH--, RNHCO-- or RNHCOHN-- wherein R represents a hydrogen atom, a methyl group, an ethyl group or a methyl group substituted with one or more halogen atoms;
• n represents 1 or 2 and Y may be the same or different when n is 2;
• and the phenyl group can be substituted with a halogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms or an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms.
