A silver halide light-sensitive color photographic material which comprises a coupler represented by formula [I]; ##STR1## wherein A represents a coupler residue that is capable of releasing the remaining group of said coupler upon reaction with an oxidation product of a developing agent; L represents a timing group which is capable of releasing the rest of the group after said remaining group being released from A; n represents 0 or 1; X represents an oxygen or sulfur atom; Y represents a --NHSO 2 R 1 ' group, a ##STR2## group or a --NHCOR 1 ' group, in which formulas R 1 ' and R 2 ' independently represent a hydrogen atom, an aliphatic group, an aromatic group or a heterocyclic group; R 1 and R 2 independently represent a hydrogen atom, an aliphatic group, an aromatic group or a heterocyclic group; R 3 represents a substituent group; m represents 0, 1 or 2, provided that when m is 2, two R 3 s may be different, and that two of R 1 , R 2 and R 3 or two of R 1 ', R 2 ' and R 3 ' may be divalent groups to form a ring structure. |
