The invention provides a multilayer color negative photographic element comprising a support, at least one light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer sensitive to each of the blue, green and red regions of the visible spectrum, one or more yellow or orange-yellow cyano benzoxazolyl or cyano benzothiazolyl arylidene type methine filter or density correction dyes of structure I, below, codispersed with one or more hydroquinone, catechol or sulfonamidophenol reducing agents, <IMAGE> I wherein: R1 is hydrogen or an alkyl group; R2 is an alkyl group or an aryl group; R3 is hydrogen, a halogen, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group or an aryloxy group; R4 is hydrogen or an alkyl group; R5 is hydrogen or an alkyl group; R6 is hydrogen or an alkyl group; X is oxygen or sulfur; each R7 is independently selected from the group consisting of a halogen, an alkyl, aryl, alkoxy, aryloxy, carbonamido, sulfonamido, carbamoyl, alkoxycarbonyl, aryloxycarbonyl, acyloxy, acyl, sulfamoyl, sulfonyl, sulfoxyl, sulfonyloxy, alkylthio, arylthio, and cyano groups; n is 0, 1, 2 or 3; and provided that R1 and R2 or R2 and R3 may join to form a ring. The photographic element of the invention exhibits improved hue due to the presence of the dye codispersion of the invention.
