The color toner for developing electrostatic latent images comprising a colored resin particle containing at least a binder resin, a colorant, a charge control agent and a parting agent, wherein an extracted liquid with water by means of a hot water extraction method from said colorant has a pH value in the range from 6.0 to 8.0, said colored resin particle has a volume average particle diameter (Dv) in the range from 4 to 10 μm and an average circularity in the range from 0.93 to 0.995, an amount of extracted components with methanol is 7% by weight or less, and an amount of residual volatile compounds is 500 ppm or less. The color toner for developing electrostatic latent images has excellent image-reproducibility and environmental durability and can form an image with a stable image density under a high temperature and high humidity condition. |
