A color photographic element includes a support, a silver halide emulsion layer, and associated therewith a phenolic dye-forming coupler having the formula wherein R1 represents hydrogen, a straight or branched chain alkyl group having 1 to about 20 carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl group having about 3 to 8 carbon atoms in the ring, or an aryl group having 6 to about 20 carbon atoms; R2 represents hydrogen or a substituent; R3 represents hydrogen, halogen, or alkyl, cycloalkyl or aryl groups as defined for R1; R4 represents a fluorosubstituted alkyl group having 1 to about 20 carbon atoms, a fluorosubstituted cycloalkyl group having about 3 to 8 carbon atoms, or a fluorosubstituted aryl group having 6 to about 20 carbon atoms; R5 represents hydrogen or a substituent; X represents hydrogen or a coupling-off group; Z represents carbon atoms or hetero atoms necessary to complete a 5-,6-, or 7-membered ring; m is 0 to 3; and n is 0 to 4. |
