Claim 1

A silver halide color photographic material comprising a support having thereon at least a silver halide photographic layer, and photographic material contains (1) at least one magenta coupler selected from the group consisting of (i) compounds represented by following formulae (VI), (VII), (IX) and (X) and (2) at least one metal complex selected from the group consisting of compounds represented by following formula (II), (III), (IV) and (V): ##STR22## wherein R 11 , R 12 and R 13 each represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group, a heterocyclic ring group, a cyano group, an alkoxy group, an aryloxy group, a heterocyclicoxy group, an acyloxy group, a carbamoyloxy group, a silyloxy group, a sulfonyloxy group, an acylamino group, an anilino group, a ureido group, an imido group, a sulfamoylamino group, a carbamoylamino group, an alkylthio group, an arylthio group, a heterocyclic thio group, an alkoxycarbonylamino group, an aryloxycarbonylamino group, a sulfonamido group, a carbamoyl group, an acyl group, a sulfamoyl group, a sulfonyl group, a sulfinyl group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, or an aryloxycarbonyl group and substituted groups thereof, and X represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a carboxy group, or a coupling releasable group bonded to the carbon atom at a coupling position through an oxygen atom, a nitrogen atom or a sulfur atom or R 12 and R 13 combine with each other to form a 5-, 6- or 7-membered nonaromatic ring, or R 12 and R 13 in the coupler shown by formula (VII) combined with each other to form 5-, 6- or 7-membered saturated, unsaturated or aromatic ring; (ii) bis compounds containing coupler moieties derived from the above-described formulae wherein R 11 , R 12 , R 13 or X represents a bond or a divalent group and forms a bis compound, (iii) a polymer coupler of a monomer-containing coupler moiety derived from at least one compound represented by the above-described formulae wherein R 11 , R 12 , R 13 or X represents a vinyl group or a substituent having a vinyl group through a linkage group, said vinyl group being substituted or unsubstituted with the coupler moiety derived from formula (VI), (VII), (IX) or (X), a chlorine atom or a lower alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and (iv) a copolymer obtained from a monomer containing at least one coupler moiety selected from the group consisting of moieties derived from above-described formulae wherein R 11 , R 12 , R 13 or X represents a vinyl group or a substituent having a vinyl group through a linkage group, said vinyl group being unsubstituted or substituted with the coupler moiety derived from formula (VI), (VII), (IX) or (X), a chlorine atom, or a lower alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and a non-coloring ethylenic monomer which does not cause coupling with the oxidation product of a primary aromatic amine color developing agent ##STR23## wherein M represents Cu, Co, Ni, Pd or Pt; R 2 , R 3 , R 4 and R 5 each represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a hydroxy group, a cyano group, or an alkyl, aryl, cycloalkyl, or heterocyclic group each bonded to a carbon atom of the benzene ring directly or through a divalent linking group; or R 2 and R 3 , R 3 and R 4 , or R 4 and R 5 combine with each other to form a nonmetallic atomic group necessary for forming a 6-membered ring; R 6 , R 9 and R 10 each represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, or an aryl group; R 7 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group, or a hydroxy group; R 8 represents an alkyl group or an aryl group; or R 8 and R 9 , or R 9 and R 10 combine with each other to form a nonmetallic atomic group forming a 5-, 7-, or 8-membered ring; and Y represents a nonmetallic atomic group forming a 5- or 6-membered ring.
