Yellow couplers corresponding to the formula ##STR1## wherein Y represents an aromatic, aliphatic or cycloaliphatic group,

Color photographic recording material containing color couplers

White couplers which are capable of reacting with color developer oxidation products to form colorless end product with the consumption of four oxidation equivalents and which, therefore have increased absorption capacity for color developer oxidation products correspond to the formula ##STR1## or its tautomeric form, in which R.sup.1 is hydrocarbyl, heterocyclyl attached through a ring carbon, or --CO--R.sup.2 R.sup.2 is alkyl, aryl, alkoxy, amino X is --S-- or --NR.sup.3 -- R.sup.3 is hydrogen, same as represented by R.sup.1 or an electron-attaching group. The four-equivalent white couplers may be contained in processing solutions or, in diffusion resistant form, in one or more layers of a colorphotographic material.
