Abstract

Abstract A color photographic light-sensitive material is disclosed. The material is comprised of a support having thereon a layer containing at least one kind of dye releasing 2-acylamino-1-naphthol derivative represented by the following general formula (I): R--L--D (I) wherein R represents a reducing group represented by the following general formula (II): ##STR1## wherein the substituents R 1 -R 8 are defined within the application; L represents a connecting group between R and D wherein specific examples of L are defined in the specification; and D represents a dye or a precursor of a dye. The dye releasing 2-acylamino-1-naphthol derivative of the present invention has a high dye releasing efficiency when it is oxidized. The derivative of the invention can release a dye having a good diffusibility and can provide a high dye transfer density and thus it is suitable to use as a coloring material in a color photographic light-sensitive material of diffusion transfer type. A method of forming a color image using the color photographic light-sensitive material is also disclosed.
