Method of forming a silver/halide color image using a particular acylacetamide yellow coupler and particular color developers

A dye image-forming method comprising color developing an image wise exposed silver halide color photographic material comprising a support having thereon at least one silver halide emulsion layer containing 60 mol % or more of silver bromide and containing at least one acylacetamide yellow coupler having an acyl group represented by the following formula (YI) ##STR32## wherein R.sub.1 represents a monovalent group;

• Q represents a group of atoms necessary to form a 3- to 5-membered hydrocarbon ring or a 3- to 5-membered heterocyclic ring having therein at least one hetero atom selected from N, O, S and P together with C;
• provided that R.sub.1 is not a hydrogen atom and is not combined with Q to form a ring;
• with a developing solution containing at least one of the aromatic primary amine color developing agents represented by the following Formula (D) or (E):
