Abstract

Abstract A developing solution composition for a silver halide color photographic material is described, comprising an aromatic primary amine color developing agent and a compound represented by formula (I) ##STR1## wherein R 1 and R 2 , which may be the same or different each represents a hydrogen atom or a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group; R 3 represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkylene group; and the total number of carbon atoms contained in R 1 , R 2 and R 3 is at least 3. The color developer composition has improved stability and color forming properties and remarkably limits fog formation during continuous processing. A method for processing a silver halide color photographic material including the step of developing a silver halide color photographic material comprising a support having thereon at least one silver halide emulsion layer with a developing solution comprising an aromatic primary amine color developing agent and a compound represented by formula (I) described above, and substantially no benzyl alcohol content, is also disclosed.
