Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of retrofuturism and surrealism, combined with a strong cinematic film aesthetic. It belongs to retrofuturism because it presents a nostalgic vision of how the future was imagined in past eras, with saturated yet vintage-tinged colors. It's surrealistic in its dreamlike recombination of familiar elements, creating visuals that feel both recognizable and otherworldly.

Style Characteristics

The main characteristics of this SREF are its warm film-like color palette and dreamlike lighting treatment. The images possess a rich cinematic quality with moderate color saturation, subtle grain, and soft luminous effects. The overall atmosphere creates a fantastical feeling that exists between reality and dreams, as if viewers are immersed in a carefully crafted art film. This style is impressive because it successfully evokes nostalgia while maintaining contemporary aesthetic standards.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • cinematic lighting: Enhances the dramatic film-like lighting effects, creating more visual impact
  • dreamy atmosphere: Strengthens the dreamlike quality of images, creating a more surreal visual experience
  • vintage color grading: Deepens the retro film color treatment, making the overall style more unified and harmonious

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for art film poster design, luxury brand advertising, concept art illustrations, and music album covers that require strong artistic expression. It's also perfect for game cutscenes and short film production visual references.

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
