Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of watercolor illustration, Japanese anime, and dreamy aesthetic. The watercolor quality is evident in the light, transparent color layering and soft color transitions; the Japanese anime influence appears in the character design and minimalist yet expressive approach; while the dreamy aesthetic manifests in the overall atmosphere and the floating elements. This fusion creates an artistic expression that exists between reality and fantasy.

Style Characteristics

The main style characteristics of this SREF include soft, dreamy blue-green background tones, minimalist yet refined lines, semi-transparent watercolor textures, and an ethereal, floating atmosphere. The color palette is dominated by delicate teal and cyan hues, creating a sense of tranquility and freshness. Small dots of light or particle effects often surround the elements in the image, adding to the dreamlike quality. The overall composition is clean and poetic, without complex details, yet still conveys strong emotions and atmosphere, which is why it's so impressive.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Ethereal Watercolor: Pairing with this word enhances the transparent quality of watercolor diffusion in the image, making color transitions more naturally soft
  • Dreamy Particles: Using this word can increase the light points and floating effects in the image, strengthening the dreamlike and ethereal feeling of the work
  • Serene Atmosphere: Adding this element improves the emotional expression of the image, making the overall feeling more peaceful and poetic

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for emotional illustrations, children's book illustrations, literary novel covers, music album artwork, therapeutic app interfaces, journal application designs, poetry book illustrations, youth-oriented game art, and creations expressing inner emotions or memories. It effectively conveys a gentle, dreamy, and poetic atmosphere.

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.
