Method for processing silver halide color photographic material

A method for processing a silver halide color photographic material comprising a support having thereon at least one red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing a cyan coupler, at least one green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing a magenta coupler and at least one blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing a yellow coupler, and wherein the photographic material contains a yellow colored cyan coupler selected from the group consisting of compounds represented by formulae (CI) and (CII):

• ##STR29## wherein C.sub.p represents a cyan coupler residue having T bonded to its coupling position;
• T represents a timing group, k represents an integer of 0 or 1;
• X represents a divalent linking group which contains N, O, or S and which is bonded to (T).sub.k via N, O, or S to link (T).sub.k and Q;
• Q represents an arylene group or a divalent heterocyclic group;
• R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, which may be the same or different, represents a hydrogen atom, a carboxyl group, a sulfo group, a cyano group, an alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an aryl group, a heterocyclic group, a carbamoyl group, a sulfamoyl group, a carbonamide group, a sulfonamide group or an alkylsulfonyl group;
• R.sub.3 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an aryl group or a heterocyclic group;
• R.sub.4 represents an acyl group or a sulfonyl group;
• R.sub.5 represents a substitutable group;
• j represents an integer of from 0 to 4, and when j is an integer of 2 or more, R.sub.4 's may be the same or different;
• provided that at least one of T, X, Q, R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 in formula (CI) contains a water-soluble group;
• and provided that at least one of T, X, Q, R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 in formula (CII) contains a water-soluble group;
• and wherein the total processing time for the photographic material is 8 minutes or less, and a processing solution having bleaching ability for the photographic material contains an oxidizing agent having a redox potential of 150 mV or more, said oxidizing agent being an organic compound.
