Method for the formation of color images

A process for the formation of color images comprising:

• image-wise exposing a silver halide color photographic material, said photographic material having on a reflective support a silver halide emulsion layer containing a dispersion of oleophilic fine grains having a mean grain size of 0.25 .mu.m to 0.05 .mu.m, which dispersion contains a pyrazolo›5,1-c!›1,2,4!triazole or pyrazolo›1,5-b!›1,2,4!triazole coupler capable of forming a magenta dye after having been coupled with an oxidation product of an aromatic primary amine developing agent and at least one high boiling organic solvent having a dielectric constant of 5.0 or more (25.degree. C., 10 KHz) and having the formula (I):
• ##STR21## wherein W.sub.1, W.sub.2 and W.sub.3 each represents:
• an unsubstituted alkyl;
• an unsubstituted cycloalkyl;
• an unsubstituted alkenyl;
• an unsubstituted aryl;
• a halogen-substituted alkyl selected from --C.sub.2 HF.sub.4, --C.sub.5 H.sub.3 F.sub.8, --C.sub.9 H.sub.3 F.sub.16, --C.sub.2 H.sub.4 Cl, C.sub.3 H.sub.6 Cl, --C.sub.3 H.sub.5 Cl.sub.2, --C.sub.3 H.sub.5 ClBr, and --C.sub.3 H.sub.5 Br.sub.2 ;
• a cycloalkyl-substituted alkyl which is ##STR22## an aryl-substituted alkyl selected from ##STR23## an ester-substituted alkyl selected from ##STR24## a substituted cycloalkyl selected from ##STR25## a substituted aryl selected from ##STR26## a substituted alkenyl wherein the substituent is a halogen atom, --OC.sub.8 H.sub.17, ##STR27## or a substituted ethenyl wherein the substituent is selected from ##STR28## then subjecting the image-wise exposed photographic material to development at a processing temperature of 33.degree. to 45.degree. C. with a color developer which contains an aromatic primary amine developing agent and 0.5 ml/l or less of benzyl alcohol, for a color development step processing time within 2 minutes or less.
