Art Style Type

This SREF style blends retro-futurism with cinematic visual storytelling. It cleverly combines 70s vintage aesthetics with modern sci-fi elements, creating a unique visual language of "retrofuturism." The consistent use of orange-yellow tones evokes color treatments reminiscent of Quentin Tarantino or Wes Anderson films, but with added sci-fi elements that establish a distinctive visual identity.

Style Characteristics

The most prominent characteristic of this SREF is the bold orange-yellow color palette that runs through all images, creating strong visual cohesion. The dramatic contrast between light and shadow delivers a cinematic quality, with each scene appearing as a carefully constructed film shot. Material textures are rendered with detailed realism—whether fabric, metal, or leather, everything feels tangible. The scenes possess a dramatic, story-rich atmosphere, as if each frame is part of a larger narrative. This style is impressive because it perfectly balances nostalgia and futurism while maintaining high visual consistency.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Cinematic Photography: Pairing with this word can enhance composition and lighting treatment, giving the work a more filmic quality and professional feel
  • Retro Sci-Fi: Using this can further strengthen the temporal juxtaposition in the work, creating a more unique sense of displaced time and space
  • Golden Hour Lighting: Adding this element enhances the warm color tones and dramatic light effects, elevating the overall atmosphere and emotional expression

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for sci-fi film or game promotional posters, retro-futuristic themed brand advertisements, alternative music album cover designs, indie game art direction, and narrative illustrations that require strong visual impact and unique aesthetic styling. It's also excellent for creating IP characters or series works that need a unified visual language.

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.
