PURPOSE:To improve the storage stability of an undeveloped color part and a developed color image and ensure a feeling near to that of plain paper by using at least one kind of a compd. selected from a specific salicylic acid derivative and a metal salt thereof as the electron acceptive compd. of a thermal recording layer. CONSTITUTION:A thermal recording material is obtained by arranging a thermal recording layer containing an electron donating color forming compd. and an electron acceptive compd. and a protective layer on a support. In this case, as the electron acceptive compd., at least one kind of a compd. selected from a salicylic acid derivative represented by the general formula (wherein X1 and X2 are a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an aralkyl group or an aryl group, Y1 and Y2 are an oxygen atom or a sulfur atom, R1 is a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aralkyl group or an aryl group and R2 is an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an aralkyl group or an aryl group) and a metal salt thereof is used. |
