Silver halide color photosensitive material

Abstract

A silver halide color photosensitive material comprises at least one light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer and at least one nonlight-sensitive layer. At least one of the nonlight-sensitive layers contains colloidal silver. The colloidal silver-containing nonlight-sensitive layer or a nonlight-sensitive layer adjacent to the colloidal silver-containing nonlight-sensitive layer contains a compound capable of releasing a development inhibitor or a precursor thereof by a coupling reaction with an oxidized developing agent. At least one layer selected from the group consisting of the light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer and the nonlight-sensitive layer contains a compound (B), which is a compound having at least three hetero atoms and capable of enhancing the photographic speed of the photosensitive material in comparison to the same photosensitive materials without the compound.
