A silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material having a silver halide emulsion layer, and (1) a substantially light-insensitive dye-forming-coupler-containing layer, and (2) at least one layer selected from a non-color-forming intermediate layer containing a color-mixing inhibitor and a non-color-forming intermediate layer substantially free of color-mixing inhibitor, wherein i) when the light-insensitive dye-forming-coupler-containing layer is included, the layer is positioned adjacent to the silver halide emulsion layer, and ii) when the non-color-forming intermediate layer containing a color-mixing inhibitor and the non-color-forming intermediate layer substantially free of color-mixing inhibitor are included, these layers are positioned adjacent to each other.
