Silver halide color photographic photosensitive material

A silver halide color photographic photosensitive material comprising:

• a blue light-sensitive emulsion layer unit containing a yellow-forming color coupler;
• a green light-sensitive emulsion layer unit containing a magenta-forming color coupler;
• and
• a red light-sensitive emulsion layer unit containing a cyan-forming color coupler on a support, wherein
• each of the blue light-sensitive emulsion layer unit, the green light-sensitive emulsion layer unit, and the red light-sensitive emulsion layer unit comprises at least two photosensitive emulsion layers having sensitivities which are different from each other;
• an emulsion layer of the highest sensitivity among the at least two photosensitive emulsion layers comprises at least one silver halide emulsion in which tabular silver halide grains having an average aspect ratio of 3 or more and substantially having dislocation lines account for 50% or more of the total projected areas;
• and
• each of photosensitive emulsion layers other than the emulsion layer of the highest sensitivity consists of a silver halide emulsion containing silver halide grains that account for 70% or more of the total projected areas and satisfy a requirement (a):
• the grain is constituted of a tabular silver halide host grain having two principal planes parallel to each other and an aspect ratio of 2 or more, and of a protrusion of silver halide epitaxially joined to the host grain surface.
