Abstract
Multilayer color photographic element having on a support base blue-, green- and red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers respectively associated with non-diffusing yellow, magenta and cyan dye-forming couplers, wherein (a) the green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer comprises three green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers, respectively uppermost, intermediate and lowermost, sensitive to the same spectral region of visible light, in which the sensitivity of the three green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers decreases in order from the uppermost silver halide emulsion layer to the lowermost silver halide emulsion layer, (b) each of the three green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers contains an 1-phenyl-3-anilino-4-phenylthio-5-pyrazolone magenta dye-forming coupler, (c) the weight ratio of the coupler to silver halide (expressed as silver) in the highest sensitivity uppermost green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer is higher than the weight ratio of the coupler to silver halide (expressed as silver) in the medium sensitivity intermediate green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, and (d) the highest sensitivity uppermost green-sensitive silver halide e…
