Abstract
Abstract A light-sensitive color photographic material having a support and, coated thereon, at least two light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers respectively sensitive to lights of different spectral regions, characterized in that each of the light-sensitive emulsion layers comprises at least two emulsion layers having different light-sensitivities and containing negative type light-sensitive silver halide crystals essentially consisting of silver iodobromide containing silver iodide at a proportion not higher than 4 mole %. This invention provides a silver halide color photographic material, in which the proportion of the silver halide utilized for the information of a color image to the total silver halide used is enhanced remarkably.
