Silver halide color photographic material

A silver halide color photographic material comprising a support having thereon at least one silver halide emulsion layer containing an emulsified dispersion of at least one color image forming coupler, at least one organic solvent having a high boiling point and at least organic synthetic homopolymer or copolymer of at least one monomer containing a ##STR71## group, said silver halide color photographic material further containing at least one compound of formula (I) or (III):

• wherein said at least one compound represented by formula (I) is capable of forming a chemical bond with an aromatic amine developing agent after color development to form a chemically inactive and substantially colorless compound:
• R.sub.1 --(A).sub.n --X (I)
• wherein R.sub.1 represents an aliphatic group, an aromatic group or a heterocyclic group;
• X represents a group capable of being released by a reaction with an aromatic amine developing agent;
• A represents a group capable of reacting with an aromatic amine developing agent to form a chemical bond;
• n represents 0 or 1;
• and R.sub.1 and X may be linked to form a ring;
• provided that the compound represented by the general formula (I) has a second order reaction rate constant K.sub.2 at 80.degree. C. in a reaction with p-anisidine of from 1.0 l/mol.sec to 1.times.10.sup.-5 l/mol.sec, and
• wherein said at least one compound represented by formula (III) is capable of forming a chemical bond with the oxidation product of the aromatic amine developing agent after color development processing to give a chemically inactive and substantially colorless compound:
• R--Z (III)
• wherein R represents an aliphatic group, an aromatic group or a heterocyclic group;
• and Z represents a nucleophilic group or a group capable of being decomposed in the photographic material to release a nucleophilic group, wherein the nucleophilic group is a nucleophilic functional group having a Pearson's nucleophilic .sup.n CH.sub.3 I value of at least 5 or a group derived therefrom, and wherein the nucleophilic group is a nucleophilic group having an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom, or a nitrogen atom as the atom which directly chemically connects to the oxidation product of the aromatic amine developing agent,
• said compound of formula (I) or (III) being in a hydrophilic colloid layer on said support in the same side in which said silver halide emulsion layer is positioned.
