PURPOSE: To satisfy a demand for higher coupling reactivity and higher pigment absorbing density by containing a specific cyanic pigment forming coupler.

CONSTITUTION: This halogenated silver color photosensitive material contains a cyanic pigment forming coupler indicated in an expression I. In the expression I, R1 indicates an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, a cycloalkyl group or an aryl group, R2 indicates a substitutional group for a benzene ring, R3 indicates an aryl group, L indicates an expression II, Z indicates a hydrogen atom or a coupling detaching group, and l indicates an integer 0-4. This results in obtaining the material containing the cyanic coupler for providing high coupling reactivity and high pigment absorbing density.
