Abstract
Photographic color developer compositions containing a primary aromatic amino color developing agent and an hydroxylamine are stabilized by incorporating therein a combination of sequestering agents, one of which is an aminopolyphosphonic acid compound and another of which is an aromatic polyhydroxy compound. Decomposition of the hydroxylamine, in the presence of heavy metals such as iron which act to catalyze the decomposition, and resultant formation of ammonia is effectively prevented by the presence in the developer composition of this combination of sequestering agents. Undesirable precipitate formation is also effectively avoided.
