A multi chromatic thermally sensitive recording medium comprising, a higher temperature color developing layer containing dye precursor and an organic color developer that reacts with said dye precursor and develops color by heating, and at least one lower temperature color developing layer that develops different color from that of said higher temperature color developing layer and develops color by lower temperature than the color developing temperature of said higher temperature color developing layer laminated in order on a substrate, wherein an organic color developer contained in said higher temperature color developing layer contains said diphenylsulfone bridgeable type compound represented by general formula (1) and/or said 3-{[(phenylamine)carbonyl] amino}benzenesulfoneamide compound represented by general formula (2), wherein, X and Y can be different and indicates a saturate or an unsaturated liner or grafted hydrocarbon group of carbon number 1 to 12 which can possess an ether bond, or or, wherein R indicates a methylene group or an ethylene group, T indicates a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group of carbon number 1 to 4, and R 1 to R 6 independently indicate a halogen atom, an alkyl group of carbon number 1 to 6 or an alkenyl group, further m, n, p, q, r, t indicate an integer number of 0 to 4 and when are bigger than 2, R 1 to R 6 can be different and a is an integer of 0 to 10.
