A recording liquid comprises a recording agent which is a component that forms a recorded image and a liquid medium in which said recording agent is dissolved or dispersed, wherein said recording agent comprises a dye (A) C.I. Reactive Red 23 and a dye (B) represented by R₁C₆H₃(SO₃M) n -N=N-C₁₀H₃(OH)(NHR₂)(SO₃M)₂, wherein R₁ represents H, halogen atom, carboxyl or alkyl; R₂ represents -COCH₃, -SO₂C₆H₄CH₃ or -COC₆H₄R₃, where R₃ represents H or Cl; M represents a base; and n represents either 0 or 1. An ink-jet recording method comprises applying a droplet of the recording liquid to a recording medium to carry out recording. |
