Yellow coupler and silver halide color photographic lightsensitive material containing the same

A silver halide color photographic light sensitive material comprising at least one silver halide emulsion layer on a support, wherein the silver halide emulsion layer contains at least one yellow coupler selected from the group consisting of yellow couplers represented by the following formula (I), (II), (III) or (IV):

• wherein R1 represents an acyl group, aryl group, heterocyclic residue, alkoxycarbonyl group, aryloxycarbonyl group, carbamoyl group, sulfamoyl group, alkylsulfonyl group, or arylsulfonyl group, each of which may have a substituent, or a cyano group or nitro group;
• R2 represents an alkyl group, aryl group or heterocyclic residue, each of which may have a substituent;
• R3 represents an aryl group or heterocyclic residue, each of which may have a substituent;
• R4 represents a substituent;
• n represents an integer of 0 to 2, wherein when n is 2, a plurality of R4's may be the same or different from each other;
• L represents a divalent linking group;
• and k represents an integer of 0 or more, wherein when k is 2 or more, a plurality of L's may be the same linking groups or may be different from each other.
