Silver halide color photographic material

A silver halide color photographic material having photosensitive layers of yellow color-forming layer, magenta color-forming layer, and cyan color-forming layer, and non-photosensitive layers adjacent to said photosensitive layers on a base, which comprises, in the said yellow color-forming photosensitive layer, at least one coupler selected from an acylacetamide yellow dye-forming coupler represented by the following formula (I), a nondiffusible yellow dye-forming coupler represented by the following formula (II), and a nondiffusible yellow dye-forming coupler represented by the following formula (III), and in at least one layer selected from yellow color-forming photosensitive layers and non-photosensitive layers adjacent thereto, at least one compound represented by the following formula (IV):

• ##STR39## wherein R.sup.1 represents a monovalent group, Q represents a group of non-metallic atoms required to form together with the C a substituted or unsubstituted 3- to 5-membered cyclic hydrocarbon group or a substituted or unsubstituted 3- to 5-membered heterocyclic group that has in the group at least one heteroatom selected from a group consisting of N, S, O, and P, and Y.sub.R represents a residue remaining after removing the acyl group ##STR40## at the .alpha. position of the acetamide moiety from the acylacetamide yellow dye-forming coupler represented by formula (I), provided that R.sub.1 is not a hydrogen atom and does not bond to Q to form a ring, ##STR41## wherein X.sup.1 and X.sup.2 each represent an alkyl group, an aryl group, or a heterocyclic group, X.sup.3 represents an organic residue required to form a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic group together with the >N--, Y represents an aryl group or a heterocyclic group, and Z represents a group capable of being released upon a coupling reaction of the coupler represented by said formula with the oxidized product of a developing agent, ##STR42## wherein R.sub.41 represents a hydrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic group;
• R.sub.42 represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic group, and n is an integer of 0 to 4, provided that R.sub.41 and R.sub.42 may together form a 5- to 7-membered ring.
