Abstract
Disclosed is a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material wherein a silver halide emulsion layer and/or a hydrophilic colloid layer contains at least one hydrazine derivative, and a silver halide emulsion is spectrally sensitized with a particular dye, and which contains a benzotriazol compound. There is provided a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material that exhibits superior residual color property and can provide stable photographic performance even after a long term running with a reduced silver amount.
