Art Style Type

This SREF style blends dark sci-fi aesthetics with dreamlike cyberpunk elements. It draws from "color grading" techniques used in filmmaking, creating strong blue-red color contrasts reminiscent of the visual language in classic sci-fi works like "Blade Runner." Through bold color contrasts and surreal scene design, it creates an atmosphere that feels both futuristic and mysterious.

Style Characteristics

The most striking feature is the intense color contrast, particularly the interplay between blue and red tones, creating a dreamlike and surreal atmosphere. The images have a distinct "cinematic quality," as if each frame is a snippet from an unfinished sci-fi film. The dramatic lighting creates strong light and shadow contrasts, adding mystery and depth to the scenes. The overall aesthetic presents a "low-saturation, high-contrast" look that gives viewers a strange experience of something both familiar yet alien.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Cinematic Rendering: Adding this term enhances the film-like quality, giving images more professional visual effects and narrative feeling
  • Volumetric Light: Using this reinforces the floating quality of light in space, enhancing the mysterious atmosphere and depth of the image
  • Low-key HD: Adding this element improves the texture and detail representation while maintaining that deep and mysterious baseline tone

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for sci-fi novel covers, game concept art, music album covers, immersive experience space visual design, and commercial advertisements that need to express futuristic and mysterious feelings. It's also excellent for artistic creations depicting dreams, parallel universes, or psychological states.

More Tips


You can explore further by combining the following command:

  • --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
