Silver halide color photographic material

A silver halide color photographic material comprising a support having provided thereon one or more red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers, one or more green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers and one or more blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers, wherein the average silver iodide content of silver halide in all the silver halide emulsion layers is not less than 10 mol% and the silver halide color photographic material contains a compound represented by the following general formula (II) or (III):

• ##STR9## wherein Y and Z each represents a nitrogen atom or CR.sup.4 (wherein R.sup.4 represents a hydrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group);
• R.sup.3 represents --SO.sub.3 M.sup.2 or --COOM.sup.2 (wherein M.sup.2 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkali metal, a quaternary ammonium or a quaternary phosphonium);
• L.sup.1 represents a linking group selected from --S--, --O--, ##STR10## --CO--, --SO-- and --SO.sub.2 --;
• n represents 0 or 1;
• M.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkali metal, a quaternary ammonium or a quaternary phosphonium;
• X represents a sulfur atom, an oxygen atom or ##STR11## (wherein R.sup.5 represents a hydrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group);
• L.sup.2 represents --CONR.sup.6 --, --NR.sup.6 CO--, --SO.sub.2 NR.sup.6 --, --NR.sup.6 SO.sub.2, --OCO--, --COO--, --S--, --NR .sup.6 --, --CO--, --SO--, --OCOO--, --NR.sup.6 CONR.sup.7, --NR.sup.6 COO--, --OCONR.sup.6 -- or --NR.sup.6 SO.sub.2 RN.sup.7 -- (wherein R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 each represents a hydrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group);
• wherein the silver halide photographic material has a total coating amount of silver from 3.0 to 8.0 g/m.sup.2.
