PCT No. PCT/JP87/00492 Sec. 371 Date May 10, 1988 Sec. 102(e) Date May 10, 1988 PCT Filed Jul. 9, 1987 PCT Pub. No. WO88/00723 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 28, 1988.The present inventioin calls for a silver halide color photographic material comprising a support having thereon at least one silver halide photographic emulsion layer containing a dispersion of oleophilic fine particles containing at least one diffusion resistant oil-soluble coupler which forms a substantially nondiffusible dye upon coupling with an oxidation product of an aromatic primary amine developing agent and at least one water-immiscible coupler solvent having a melting point of not more than 100 DEG C. and a boiling point of not less than 140 DEG C., wherein said oil-soluble coupler is represented by formula (Cp-I), (Cp-II) or (Cp-III) the dispersion of oleophilic fine particles is a dispersion obtained by emulsifying or dispersing a mixture containing at least one of the above couplers, at least one of the above coupler solvents and at least one water-insoluble and organic solvent-soluble homopolymer or copolymer composed of at least one repeating unit which does not have an acid group in the main chain or side chain thereof. The silver halide color photographic material can provide dye images, the prevention from light fading and dark fading of which is well balanced, and which exhibit excellent image preservability when exposed to high temperature and high humidity as well as when exposed to light. |
