Silver halide color photographic material

Claim 1

A silver halide color photographic material comprising a support having thereon at least one silver halide emulsion layer containing a dispersion, said dispersion comprising oleophilic fine particles containing (a) at least one oil-soluble cyan coupler represented by formula (I) ##STR28## wherein R 1 represents a hydrogen atom or a halogen atom; R 2 represents a straight chain or branched chain alkyl group having from 2 to 4 carbon atoms; R 3 represents a ballast group; and X represents a hydrogen atom or a coupling releasable group, said coupler being capable of forming a substantially non-diffusible cyan dye upon coupling with an oxidation product of an aromatic primary amide developing agent, and (b) a water-insoluble, organic solvent-soluble vinyl homopolymer or copolymer comprising a repeating unit having a ##STR29## wherein G 1 represents a hydrogen atom and G 2 represents an unsubstituted alkyl group or a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group, wherein said repeating unit when present in a copolymer is present in an amount of at least 60 mol %, and further comprising not more than about 20% by weight of a repeating unit having an acid radical in the main chain or a side chain thereof, wherein said homopolymer or copolymer has a number average molecular weight of not more than 150,000 and said dispersion does not contain in high-boiling point organic solvents having a boiling point of about 140° C. or higher.
