Silver halide light-sensitive color photographic material

A silver halide color photographic light sensitive material comprising a support having thereon a cyan dye-forming red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, a magenta dye-forming green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer and a yellow dye-forming blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, wherein parameter .mu. as defined below satisfies the following relation (1), when said photographic material is processed after being subjected to treatment (a) or (b) as specified below:

• .mu..ltoreq.0.05 (1)
• Treatment (a)
• 1) prior to exposure, a photographic material is aged for 3 weeks under the condition of a temperature of 45.degree. C. and a relative humidity of 40%;
• 2) exposed, for 1/200 second and through an optical wedge, to light source having a clor temperature of 5500K;
• and
• 3) aged for 4 weeks under the condition of a temperature of 40.degree. C. and a relative humidity of 20%;
• Treatment (b)
• 1) the photographic material is exposed, for 1/200 seconds and through an optical wedge, to light source having a color temperature of 5500K;
• Definition of parameter .mu.
• 1) based on each of yellow, magenta and cyan color density characteristic curves (D-log E) of the photographic material processed after being subjected to treatment (b), are determined yellow, magenta and cyan minimum densities, Dmin (Y), Dmin (M) and Dmin (C);
• 2) in a range from an exposure amount of log E.sub.0 which gives a density of the minimum density+0.15 on each of the characteristic curves to an exposure amount of log E.sub.5, exposure amounts of log Ei (i=0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5) taken by an increment of 0.5 log E unit are determined for each of yellow, magenta and cyan characteristic curves;
• 3) densities D.sub.ai (Y), D.sub.ai (M) and D.sub.ai (C), which are densities corresponding to the exposure amount of log E.sub.i on each of yellow, magenta and cyan color density characteristic curves of the color photographic material processed after being subjected to treatment (a) and densities D.sub.bi (Y), D.sub.bi (M) and D.sub.bi (C), which are densities corresponding to the exposure amount of log E.sub.i on each of yellow, magenta and cyan color density characteristic curves of the color photographic material processed after being subjected to treatment (b) are respectively determined;
• 4) a difference between D.sub.ai and D.sub.bi is determined with respect to each of yellow, magenta and cyan, and a three dimentional vector t(i) having the diference as a component is expressed as t(i),
• t(i)={D.sub.ai (Y)-D.sub.bi (Y), D.sub.ai (M)-D.sub.bi (M), D.sub.ai (C)-D.sub.bi (C)}
• (i=0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
• 5) a difference between t(i) and t(i+1) is expressed as .mu.(i),
• .mu.(i)=t(i+1)-t(i)
• (i=0, 1, 2, 3, 4)
• and among these .mu.(i)s, a vector having a maximum magnitude is expressed as .mu.(i)max, the magnitude of which is defined as .mu.and wherein at least one of said red-sensitive layer, green-sensitive layer, and blue-sensitive layer comprises at least two silver halide emulsion layers;
• one of said two silver halide emulsion layers contains internally reduction-sentized silver halide grains and another silver halide emulsion layer contains substantially no internally reduction-sensitized silver halide grains.
