In formula, benzene rings A and B may have substituents, and R1 and R2 are hydrogen atoms, alkyl or aryl groups which may have substituents. The blue color toner is obtd. by dyeing a toner resin by using the blue color dye expressed by formula and a nonion or anion dispersant. As for the auxiliaries, a nonion or anion dispersant is used.
