Photographic colour material containing a resorcinol derivative as black coupler

摘要

A colour photographic material is disclosed comprising a black image forming coupler substituted in the 2,4 and/or 6 position as shown by formula (I) or (II) wherein LINK represents a divalent linking group, BALL represents a group that prevents the coupler from diffusing away from the layer containing it. X and Y each represent a hydrogen atom or a coupling-off group capable of being released upon an oxidative coupling reaction with a developing agent. The material has a good colour reproduction and excellent light stability.
