<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a full-color toner set excellent in color reproducibility and capable of retaining good developing properties over a long period of time, and an image forming method and an image forming apparatus using the full-color toner set. Ž<P>SOLUTION: The full-color toner set includes a combination of a yellow toner, a cyan toner, and a magenta toner, wherein in each of the color toners, at least resin fine particles are externally added as an external additive to toner base particles. Further, the yellow toner may include a monoazo pigment serving as a colorant in the toner base particles. In addition, the formula 1: Wy>Wc and the formula 2: Wy>Wm may be satisfied, where the amount of addition of the resin fine particles based on 100 pts.mass of toner base particles in the yellow toner is represented by Wy, the amount of addition of the resin fine particles based on 100 pts.mass of toner base particles in the cyan toner is represented by Wc, and the amount of addition of the resin fine particles based on 100 pts.mass of toner base particles in the magenta toner is represented by Wm. The image forming method and the image forming apparatus 10 use the full-color toner set in which the three color toners satisfying the formulae 1 and 2 are combined.
