Silver halide color photographic material and method for forming color image

Claim 1

A silver halide color photographic material having photographic constitutional layers that include at least one silver halide emulsion layer on a base, comprising in at least on of said silver halide emulsion layer silver halide grains having a silver chloride content of 90 mol% or over and an emulsified dispersion containing lipophilic fine particles with an average particle diameter in the range of 0.18 μm to 0.35 μm that include at least one cyan dye-forming coupler represented by formula (I): ##STR271## wherein R 1 represents an alkyl group having at least 7 carbon atoms, R 2 represents an alkyl group having 1 to 15 carbon atoms, L represents a mere bonding line or a bivalent linking group, and Z represents a hydrogen atom or a group or an atom capable of being released at the time of coupling with a developing agent, at least one high-boiling organic solvent having a viscosity of 200 cp or over at 25° C., and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of diffusion-resistant compounds represented by formulae (II) and (III): ##STR272## wherein R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , and R 6 each represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, or a chain, cyclic, or branched alkyl, alkyloxy, or alkylthio group, provided that R 3 and R 4 and/or R 5 and R 6 do not simultaneously represent a hydrogen atom and/or a halogen atom respectively, and of alkyl groups represented by R 3 to R 6 , an alkyl group whose root carbon is a tertiary carbon atom are excluded.
