Abstract
A heat-developable color photographic material comprising a support having thereon at least a light-sensitive silver halide, a hydrophilic binder and a dye releasing redox compound represented by the following general formula (I): ##STR1## wherein G represents --OR.sup.1 or --NHR.sup.2 ; R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom or a hydrolyzable group; R.sup.2 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group containing from 1 to 50 carbon atoms; Z represents an image forming dye group; A represents an atomic group necessary for forming an aromatic ring; Ball represents an organic immobilizing group on the aromatic ring, and when two Ball groups exist, they may be the same or different from each other; m represents an integer of 1 or 2; X represents a divalent organic group containing from 1 to 8 atoms and X with a nucleophilic group (Nu) is capable of forming a 5- to 12-membered ring together with an electrophilic center (the carbon atom marked with *) which is formed by oxidation; Nu represents a nucleophilic group; and n represents an integer of 1 or 2. The heat-developable color photographic material can easily provide a clear and stable color image by imagewise exposure to light and a heat-development procedure. A method of forming a color image using the heat-developable color photographic material is also disclosed.
