The present invention provides a silver halide color photographic photosensitive material including a substrate, and photographic constituent layers having at least one each of an yellow color-developing blue light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, a magenta color-developing green light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, a cyan color-developing red light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer and a non-photosensitive hydrophilic colloid layer, wherein the at least one yellow color-developing blue light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer includes a silver halide emulsion having a sphere-corresponding diameter of 0.7 .mu.m or less, and a silver chloride content of 90 mol % or higher, which silver halide emulsion has been subjected to selenium and gold sensitizations, and the total gelatin amount in the photographic constituent layers is from 3 to 6 g/m.sup.2, or the total silver coating amount in the photographic constituent layers is from 0.2 to 0.5 g/m.sup.2, and an image-forming method using the same.
