To improve the color balance of a white part by incorporating a specified compd.

This color photosensitive material has three photosensitive silver halide emulsion layers different from one another in color sensitivity on the substrate and contains a compd. represented by the formula PWR-(Time)t- Dye besides a binder and a dye imparting compd. releasing a diffusible dye in accordance with silver development. In the formula, PWR is a group releasing -(Time)t-Dye when the compd. is reduced, Time is a group releasing Dye through succeeding reaction after release as -(Time)t-Dye, (t) is 0 or 1, Dye is a dye or its precursor and PWR may be a part corresponding to a part contg. an electron accepting center and an intramolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction center in a compd. releasing a photographic reagent by intramolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction after the compd. is reduced.
