Color: The color palettes are diverse but often feature pastel hues, iridescent effects, and glowing neon accents (like pink, purple, turquoise, and yellow). This creates a sense of dreamlike nostalgia and otherworldly beauty. The colors often shift and shimmer, adding to the vaporwave influence.
Lighting: The lighting is often soft and diffused, with a sense of internal luminosity. The neon accents often appear to glow, creating highlights and reflections on the surrounding surfaces. This enhances the iridescent effects and contributes to the dreamlike, retro-futuristic atmosphere.
Design Technique: The styles blend realism (often through 3D rendering) with stylized and fantastical elements. The subjects are often depicted with a high level of detail, but they are placed in unusual or dreamlike contexts, or they possess iridescent or glowing properties. There's a clear influence of vaporwave aesthetics, with its focus on retro technology, pastel colors, and a sense of nostalgic longing. The styles convey a sense of dreamlike nostalgia, otherworldly beauty, retro-futuristic aesthetic, playful kitsch sensibility, and a blend of realism and fantasy.
