Silver halide color photographic light-sensitive materials

A silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material, comprising:

• a support base having thereon:
• a first, color-sensitive, silver halide emulsion layer having a sensitivity with respect to light;
• a second, color-sensitive, silver halide emulsion layer having a sensitivity with respect to light which is greater than the sensitivity with respect to light of the first sensitive layer, the second layer having the same color sensitivity properties as the first layer, the silver halide of the second layer having a silver iodide content in the range of 9% by mol to 15% by mol;
• and
• a DIR compound which releases a compound selected from the group consisting of diffusible development inhibitors having a degree of diffusion of 0.4 or more as a releasing group and precursors thereof by a coupling reaction, the DIR compound being present in a color-sensitive, silver halide emulsion layer other than the second layer, which also has the same color sensitivity properties as the first layer.
