Abstract

The invention provides a color photographic element comprising: PA0 a) a first light sensitive silver halide emulsion layer containing a compound of Formula I: ##STR1## wherein Q represents the atoms necessary to form a triazole ring and the associated bonds, provided that the ring members may be substituted and that two of such members may join to form a fused ring; PA1 provided further that the ClogP for the compound of Formula I is from 4.75 to 9.0; and PA0 b) a second light sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, having a spectral sensitivity different from that of the first light sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, containing a compound of Formula II: EQU COUP-(TIME).sub.j -INH II wherein: PA1 1) COUP is a coupler parent group capable of forming a dye upon reaction with an oxidized developer; PA1 2) TIME is a timing group and j is 0 or 1; and PA1 3) INH is a mild silver development inhibitor fragment. The invention provides improved color reproduction.
