Art Style Type

This SREF style blends neo-retro aesthetics with cinematic film qualities and subtle touches of dreamy realism. It presents a nostalgic yet warm visual language, resembling photographs taken with vintage film cameras but enhanced with modern digital processing. This style carries both the emotional temperature of old photographs and the refined treatment of contemporary art, creating a beauty that exists in the intersection of different time periods.

Style Characteristics

The main style characteristics include soft faded tones, subtle grain and texture, warm color tendencies, and a slightly dreamlike atmosphere. The overall imagery presents a mild soft-focus effect, like memories washed by time. The light and shadow treatment is very subtle, creating a serene yet slightly melancholic mood. What makes this style impressive is how successfully it evokes nostalgia while maintaining modern artistic expression.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Film texture: Adding this keyword can enhance the grain and unique color processing in the images, making the work feel more authentic to vintage photography
  • Soft lighting: Using this can amplify the warm, diffused light effects in the composition, strengthening the dreamy and calm atmosphere
  • Retro tones: Adding this element unifies the color palette, bringing that distinctive nostalgic feeling while maintaining artistic quality and emotional depth

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for emotional brand storytelling, literary book covers, music album artwork, nostalgic-themed advertising photography, independent film posters, fashion magazine editorials, and personal portfolios that need to evoke deep emotional resonance. It adds unique artistic charm to any project that aims to convey subtle emotions and a sense of nostalgia.

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.
