Abstract

Color silver halide photographic elements having a yellow dye image-forming unit comprises at least one blue-sensitive silver iodobromide emulsion layer that has silver iodobromide grains. The silver iodobromide grains have initially associated therewith at least two blue spectral sensitizing dye layers comprising: (a) an inner dye layer adjacent the silver iodobromide grains comprising at least one anionic blue spectral sensitizing Dye 1, and (b) an outer dye layer adjacent to the inner dye layer comprising at least one cationic blue spectral sensitizing Dye 2. Dye 2 absorbs light at equal or higher energy than Dye 1. The maximum energy emission wavelength of Dye 2 overlaps but is not exactly corresponding to the maximum energy absorption wavelength of Dye 1. The silver iodobromide grains also have initially associated therewith an amine borane compound and a thiosulfonate compound.
