PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a black dye for inkjet recording having good achromaticity and light resistance, and a recording liquid and a recording method using the same. SOLUTION: An ink jet recording liquid having one or more hydrophilic groups and using a metal chelate azo dye represented by the general formula 1 in the form of a free acid, and optionally other water-soluble dyes. (A-C can represent an arbitrary metal which can take a coordination at the M3 or higher position, A to C independently represent an aromatic ring which may have a substituent, and D represents a substituent other than an azo group. A good aromatic ring, m is an integer of 0 to 1, n is an integer of 0 to 3, p is an integer of 0 to 2, and q is an integer of 1 to 3, and R 1 and R 2 each represent hydrogen or any substituent. Further A And when B and B are plural, a metal ion may be further coordinated to B adjacent to each other across an azo group, or to B and C in the form of -OMO-. ) |
