The invention relates to a color photographic element comprising a red light sensitive layer comprising a cyan dye forming coupler, a green light sensitive layer comprising a magenta dye forming coupler, a blue light sensitive layer comprising a yellow dye forming coupler, wherein said magenta dye forming coupler comprises wherein Ra and Rb independently represent H or a substituent; X is hydrogen or a coupling-off group; and Za, Zb, and Zc are independently a substituted methine group, =N-, =C-, or -NH-, provided that one of either the Za-Zb bond or the Zb-Zc bond is a double bond and the other is a single bond, and when the Zb-Zc bond is a carbon-carbon double bond, it may form part of an aromatic ring, and at least one of Za, Zb, and Zc represents a methine group connected to the group Rb, and wherein said blue light sensitive layer is the light sensitive layer nearest the top of the photographic element and contains an emulsion comprising greater than 90 percent silver chloride. |
