Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of East Asian ink wash painting and contemporary minimalism. It inherits the "negative space" aesthetics and expressive brushwork from traditional Chinese painting, while adopting the simplified composition and restrained color palette of modern design. This style belongs to the Neo-Orientalism category because it reinterprets traditional Eastern aesthetics through a modern visual language, maintaining classical charm while possessing contemporary sensibilities.

Style Characteristics

The defining characteristic of this SREF is its extreme color restraint and poetic use of negative space. The overall palette is dominated by gray and white tones, with only small amounts of vibrant color (typically red) serving as visual focal points, creating powerful contrast effects. The composition is exceptionally clean, eliminating all unnecessary details to focus the viewer's attention entirely on core elements. This style is impressive because it can express profound emotions with minimal elements, embodying the "less is more" aesthetic philosophy.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • "Zen atmosphere": Pairing with this phrase can further strengthen the tranquil ambiance and spiritual depth of the work, creating a more meditative sense of calm
  • "Ink wash bleeding": Using this term can enhance the expression of traditional painting techniques, making color transitions more natural and soft while adding poetic quality
  • "Negative space aesthetics": Adding this element makes the handling of empty spaces more sophisticated, improving compositional balance and visual breathing room

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for cultural brand design, luxury product packaging, zen-inspired interior decoration, and art book covers. In game art, it's perfect for creating concept art for martial arts or ancient-themed games. For commercial applications, this style serves well for visual branding related to tea culture, incense ceremony, calligraphy, and other traditional cultural elements.

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.
