Color photographic silver halide material

A color photographic silver halide material comprising at least one blue sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing at least one yellow coupler, at least one green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing at least one magenta coupler, and at least one red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing at least one cyan coupler, and at least one of the blue-sensitive silver halide emulsions is doped with mercury and is spectrally sensitized with a sensitizing dye of formula (I) ##STR21## wherein X.sub.1 and X.sub.2, independently of each other, denote O, S, Se or NR,

• R denotes alkyl or carboxyalkyl,
• R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 or R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 denote the remaining members for the completion of a phenanthro- or anthraazole ring, and the remaining R.sub.1 or R.sub.3 radical denotes a hydrogen atom,
• R.sub.4 and R.sub.5, independently of each other, denote a hydrogen atom, alkyl or aryl, or
• R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 jointly denote the remaining members of an unsubstituted or substituted benzazole, naphthazole, phenanthro-or anthraazole,
• S.sub.1 and S.sub.2, independently of each other, denote alkyl, sulphoalkyl or carboxyalkyl, and
• M.sup.+ denotes a cation which is possibly necessary for charge equilization.
