Art Style Type

This SREF style blends surrealism with retro cyberpunk elements. The images present an intersection of dreams and reality, featuring symbolic imagery and dramatic contrasts typical of surrealism, while the color treatment shows a distinct cinematic poster style with a vintage feel. Rather than purely representing a single art movement, it combines multiple artistic approaches to create a visual experience rich in narrative and symbolism.

Style Characteristics

The most prominent feature of this style is the strong color contrast and mood creation. Deep background colors (primarily dark teal) contrast sharply with vibrant warm tones (orange-red, yellow), creating dramatic visual tension. The compositions are clean and symbolic, with each element appearing to tell a metaphorical story. The light and shadow treatment has a cinematic quality, conveying a slightly melancholic yet beautiful emotion. The overall style is impressive because it achieves both artistic depth and immediate visual impact.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Surrealist composition: Enhances the dreamlike quality and intersection between fantasy and reality, making symbolic elements more prominent
  • Cinematic color grading: Reinforces the dramatic contrast and atmosphere, giving the work a movie poster-like visual impact
  • Symbolic objects: Adding elements with metaphorical meaning elevates the narrative quality and intellectual depth, encouraging viewers to form their own interpretations

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for concept album covers, psychological thriller movie posters, literary work illustrations, philosophy or psychology-related publication covers, and visual art projects that need to express complex emotions or abstract concepts. It's also excellent for artistic projects exploring the relationship between the inner world and external reality.

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.
