A method for forming photographic color images is disecond closed, in which a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material is rapidly processed with low replenishment of processing solutions. The images improved in lowered yellow stain can be obtained. The processing comprises steps of color developing, bleaching immediately after the developing step, and treating with a bath having a fixing capability following the bleaching step. The steps of bleachin and treating with a solution having a fixing capability are carried out for a time of not more than 3 minutes 45 second at a temperature of from 20 to 45°C. The light-sensitive material comprises silver halide emulsion layers each containing silver bromide and/or silver boromoiodide grains and satisfies at least one of the following requirements (1) and (2);

(1) a blue light-sensitive emulsion layer included in the silver halide emulsion layers has a silver density d of not less than 4.0× 10⁻¹ g/cm³.
(2) a green light-sensitive emulsion layer included in the silver halide emulsion layers has a silver density d of not less than 6.0× 10⁻¹ g/cm³ .
