PURPOSE: To inhibit yellow staining by incorporating a 3-anilino-5-pyrazolone type magenta coupler, a specified compound and a cyclic ether compound.

CONSTITUTION: A 3-anilino-5-pyrazolone type magenta coupler, a compund represented by the formula and a cyclic ether compound are incorporated into a silver halide color photographic sensitive material in the from of drops of oil in the presence or absence of an og. solvent having a high b.p. In the formula, R1 is H, alkyl, alkenyl, aryl or a heterocyclic group, each of R2, R3, R5 and R6 is H, halogen, hydroxy, alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, alkoxy or acylamino and R4 is alkyl, hydroxy, aryl or alkoxy. Thus, yellow staining is inhibited.
