To provide a silver halide photosensitive material for forming a monotone image, such as a sepia tone image or the like having added value, by forming a color filter layer for shielding a part of the visible light region in a location farther than a photosensitive layer farthest from the support.

The color filter layer for shielding a part of the visible light region is formed in a location farther than the photosensitive layer farthest from the support. As a desirable tone of the color filter, yellow, magenta, cyan, blue, green, red, orange, purple, and the like, and it is preferred that the color filter has transmission density enough to reduce photographic sensitivity to the spectral absorption maximum of the color filter to ≤1/2, and it is preferred that the dyes to be added to the color filter layer are made nondifusible in the color filter layer, and it is preferred for the monotone image to have the monotone sepia color (dark brown).
