Abstract

Provided is an aqueous ink capable of recording an image having a good hue as a magenta ink. The aqueous ink is an aqueous ink for ink jet including a first coloring material and a second coloring material. The first coloring material is a compound represented by general formula (1), and the second coloring material is a compound represented by general formula (2). A proportion (% by mass) of a content of the second coloring material to a total content of the first coloring material and the second coloring material in the aqueous ink is 0.60% by mass or more.
