Silver halide color photographic lightsensitive material

A silver halide color photographic lightsensitive material comprising a support and, superimposed thereon, at least one blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer and protective layer, which silver halide color photographic lightsensitive material contains at least one compound capable of increasing photographic speed, the compound having at least three heteroatoms in its molecule, and wherein at least one layer of the silver halide emulsion layers comprises an emulsion, the emulsion consisting of a photosensitive silver halide emulsion wherein 50% or more in number of all the silver halide grains are occupied by tabular grains having (111) faces as main planes, the tabular grains:

• (i) composed of silver iodobromide or silver chloroiodobromide;
• (ii) having an equivalent circle diameter of 1.0 μm or more and a thickness of 0.15 μm or less;
• and (iii) composed of core portions of 0.1 μm or less thickness free of growth ring structure and composed of silver iodobromide and shell portions having ten or more dislocation lines.
