Silver halide photographic light sensitive material

Claim 1

A silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material comprising a support having thereon at least one silver halide emulsion layer, wherein at least one of said silver halide emulsion layers includes a group of substantially monodisperse core/shell-type silver halide grains having a value of not greater than 0.15, said value being obtained by dividing a standard deviation value by the average grain size value, wherein said substantially monodisperse core/shell-type silver halide grains have a shell of a thickness of 0.01μ to 0.1μ and wherein the silver halide grains contain a silver iodide in the core thereof in an amount of not less than 8 mole % and a silver iodide in the shell thereof in an amount from 0.1 mole % to 6 mole %; and (b) a development inhibitor releasing compound which releases a development inhibitor by the reaction thereof with the oxidized product of a color developing agent and wherein said development inhibiting releasing compound has a relative development inhibitability ρs of not less than 1, as defined below: ##EQU4## wherein, ρ represents a development inhibitability of the DIR compound to be used; γi represents a gamma value of a color developed silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material containing the aforementioned DIR compound; γ0 represents a gamma value of a color developed silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material not containing the DIR compound; ρB represents a development inhibitability of the following DIR compound D B ##STR24##
