(57) [Summary] [Purpose] Firstly, to provide a novel photographic cyan coupler used as a material for a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material, and secondly, to be excellent in color reproducibility and to heat, humidity and light. Provided is a silver halide color photographic cyan coupler capable of forming a color image without causing a change in hue. [Structure] Cyan coupler for photograph represented by the general formula [I] [In the formula, R and Y represent a hydrogen atom or a substituent, EWG represents an electron-withdrawing group having a Hammett's substituent constant σ p of 0.3 or more, and X represents a hydrogen atom or a group capable of splitting off upon reaction with an oxidation product of a color developing agent. ] |
