Silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material and method for developing thereof

A method of forming a color image comprising developing an imagewise exposed silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material comprising a support having thereon a silver halide emulsion layer containing at least one coupler represented by the following general formula (I):

• ##STR13## wherein R.sub.1 represents an alkyl group or an aryl group;
• R.sub.2 represent a hydrogen atom, a hydroxy group, a halogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group or an aryl group;
• R.sub.3 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an acylamino group, a sulfonamido group, a sulfamoyl group, a carbamoyl group, a diacylamino group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, an alkoxysulfonyl group, an aryloxysulfonyl group, an alkanesulfonyl group, an arylsulfonyl group, an alkylthio group, an arylthio group, an alkyloxycarbonylamino group, an alkylureido group, an acyl group, a nitro group, a carboxy group, or a trichloromethyl group;
• X represents a halogen atom or an alkoxy group;
• Ar represents a substituted phenyl group;
• m is an integer of from 1 to 4;
• and the above described organic groups may be substituted;
• and the silver halide emulsion layer and/or a hydrophilic colloid layer adjacent thereto containing a 1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidone derivative represented by the following general formula (II):
• ##STR14## wherein Y represents a hydrogen atom or an acyl group;
• R and R.sub.4, which may be the same or different, each represents an aryl group;
• R.sub.5 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group;
• R.sub.6 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group or an aryl group;
• and the above described organic groups may be substituted.
