Silver halide color photographic material

Abstract

The present invention is directed to a silver halide color photographic material including a blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, a green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer and a red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer on a support, wherein at least one of the photosensitive layers comprises two or more unit layers having different sensitivities, and among all of said unit layers, the unit layer highest in sensitivity contains at least one of (a) a compound capable of producing, by the reaction of the compound with a developing agent oxidized product, a compound that can produce a development inhibitor or its precursor when oxidized, and (b) a compound capable of producing, by the reaction of the compound with a developing agent oxidized product, a precursor of a compound that can produce a development inhibitor or its precursor when oxidized, with the amount of said at least one of compounds (a) and (b) being at most 1 mol % based on the amount of the silver halide in said unit layer highest in sensitivity.
