Color developing solution of light-sensitive silver halide color photographic material and processing method of light-sensitive silver halide color photographic material using the same

Abstract

This invention relates to a color developing solution for processing of a light-sensitive silver halide color photographic material which comprises containing a compound represented by the following formula [I] and at least one compound selected from a compound represented by the following formula [II] and a compound represented by the following formula [III], and a processing method of a light-sensitive silver halide color photographic material, which comprises, after imagewise exposure of a light-sensitive silver halide color photographic material, carrying out processing including at least a color developing step, wherein the light-sensitive silver halide color photographic material has silver halide emulsion layers containing silver halide grains substantially comprised of silver chloride, and a color developing solution used in the color developing step contains the compound represented by the following formula [I] and at least one compound selected from the compound represented by the following formula [II] and the compound represented by the following formula [III]: ##STR1## (wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 each represent an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms.) ##STR2## (in the formulae [II] and [III], L represents an alkylene group, a cycloalkylene group, a phenylene group, --L.sub.8 --O--L.sub.8 --O--L.sub.8 -- or --L.sub.9 --Z--L.sub.9 --, where Z represents ##STR3## L.sub.1 to L.sub.13 each represent an alkylene group, R.sub.3 to R.sub.13 each represent a hydrogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a carboxylic acid group (including its salt), or a phosphonic acid group (including its salt), provided that at least two of R.sub.3 to R.sub.6 are the carboxylic acid group (including its salt) or the phosphonic acid group (including its salt), and at least two of R.sub.5 to R.sub.7 are the carboxylic acid group (including its salt) or the phosphonic acid group (including its salt)).
