[57] Toner for developing electrostatic image having good chromaticity, high heat resistance, low fog, good OHP permeability and no odor, and method for producing the toner And an image forming method. In an electrostatic image developing toner having toner particles containing a binder resin and a colorant, the ferret average horizontal diameter of the colorant is 10 nm to 500 n in the toner particles. The ratio of the colorant having a ferret horizontal diameter of 2 nm to 300 nm is 50% by number or more, and the colorant contains a compound represented by the following general formula (1). Toner for developing electrostatic images. [Chemical 1] |
