Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of Film Noir, Art Deco, and Modern Minimalism. It presents a high-contrast black and white aesthetic similar to 1940-50s noir films, but infuses Art Deco elegance through clean lines and strong geometric shapes. This style belongs to these categories because it perfectly combines dramatic light and shadow treatments (noir), sleek decorative lines (Art Deco), and minimalist composition (modernism).

Style Characteristics

The main style characteristics of this SREF include extreme contrast between light and dark, using almost exclusively black and white to create dramatic effects. The lines are fluid yet sharp, forming clear contours and silhouettes. The treatment of light is particularly outstanding, creating mystery through bright beams and deep shadows. This style is impressive because it's minimal yet expressive, conveying strong emotions and atmosphere using only the most basic visual elements while maintaining a refined elegance.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Silhouette: Enhances the outline of figures or objects, increasing mystery and dramatic effect
  • Venetian blinds lighting: Adds striped light patterns that strengthen the noir atmosphere and create depth
  • Rim light: Creates a glowing effect along the edges of contours, enhancing separation between subject and background for greater visual impact

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for suspense or crime-themed poster designs, fashion magazine illustrations, high-end brand advertisements, jazz or classical music album covers, mystery-themed book covers, and retro-futuristic game or film visual concept designs. It also works excellently for art photography exhibition promotional materials or boutique hotel visual identity systems.

More Prompt Tips & Tricks


You can explore further by combining the following prompt command for MidJourney:

  • --sv: There are six versions of the Style Reference feature in Midjourney version 7 when using images. Use the --sv parameter to choose between them. --sv 6 is default. --sv 4 is the old V7 sref model (prior to June 16, 2025). Using --sv 6 and --sv 4 may produce different style results.
  • --s: Default value is 100, can be set from 0 to 1000. The higher the value, the more detailed the image, and the closer the style may be to reality.
  • -niji 6: Using this command will give the image a more anime style.
  • --sw: Default value is 100, can be input from 0 to 1000. A higher value makes the style closer to the original.
  • You can now blend multiple --sref codes together (for example --sref 123 456 )
  • You can weigh individual codes or urls as follows --sref 123::2

This website stands out as one of the pioneering libraries I discovered in my AI art journey. What truly sets it apart is its comprehensive offering: not just unique style codes, but also intricate blends and full prompts. The inclusion of complete prompts is particularly valuable, as it's an artistic choice that many creators hesitate to share openly.

As a beginner in MidJourney, I struggled to create the style of images I envisioned and felt lost with keyword usage. This led me to create this website for sref codes and examples with prompts, aimed at helping newcomers easily generate high-quality images and find joy in their creative process.

There are many Midjourney Sref galleries online, but promptsref.com is my go-to resource. If you're looking for a comprehensive collection of Midjourney Srefs, this is the only website you need.
