Abstract

A direct positive color light-sensitive material is disclosed, which comprises a support having thereon at least one internal latent image-forming silver halide emulsion layer containing non-prefogged silver halide grains and which contains at least one color image-forming coupler capable of producing or releasing a non-diffusible or diffusible dye upon oxidative coupling with a color developing agent, with at least one layer different from the internal latent image-forming silver halide emulsion layer containing a surface latent image-forming, negative-working silver halide emulsion and with at least one of the negative-working silver halide emulsion layer and an interlayer adjacent thereto containing at least one compound capable of releasing a fogging agent, a fogging agent precursor, a development promoter or a development promoter precursor in proportion to the amount of developed silver of the negative-working silver halide emulsion upon development processing using an aromatic primary amine developing agent.
