(57) [Summary] [PROBLEMS] In ink jet recording, excellent print quality, clear color tone, high density, light resistance, good indoor discoloration and fading, and good fastness and fading balance even after long-term storage. The present invention provides a dye set, an ink set, and an ink jet recording method using the dye set and the ink set. The dye unit includes a water-soluble azo metal chelate compound formed from an azo compound represented by the following general formula (1) and a metal element, which is a magenta dye, a yellow dye, and a cyan dye. Dye set, ink set using the dye set, and a recording method using the same. Embedded image (In the formula, X 1 represents a plurality of atoms forming at least one 5- to 7-membered heterocyclic ring, and is a heterocyclic ring other than a pyridine ring. The heterocyclic ring containing X 1 is a substituent on the heterocyclic ring. And a substituent on the heterocyclic ring may be further condensed to form a condensed ring. Ar 1 represents a naphthyl group having a substituent.) |
