Silver halide color light-sensitive material

A silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material, having photographic constituting layers including at least one blue-sensitive layer containing a silver halide emulsion, at least one green-sensitive layer containing a silver halide emulsion, at least one red-sensitive layer containing a silver halide emulsion, and at least one hydrophilic colloidal layer, each of which is provided on a support, wherein a content of silver chloride is 95 mol % or more and a content of silver iodide is 0.05 mol % or more and 0.3 mol % or less in the silver halide emulsion of the red-sensitive layer, wherein silver halide grains in the silver halide emulsion of the red-sensitive layer are prepared by adding a metal complex represented by formula (2) and an iridium complex represented by formula (1) in this order, and wherein the difference (S1−S2) between a spectral sensitivity (S1) at a wavelength of 685 nm and a spectral sensitivity (S2) at a wavelength of 590 nm is from 1.2 to 2.5 logE, for a distribution of the spectral sensitivities when the light-sensitive material is exposed to lights equal in energy at each wavelength:
