Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of cyberpunk, sci-fi noir aesthetics, and industrial futurism. It presents a highly contrasting visual language that combines future technology with a sense of decay, creating a unique "tech noir aesthetic." The red and black color scheme creates tension and drama while maintaining a cool, precise technological feel—a hallmark of cyberpunk, but with more refined detail treatment that gives it its distinctive character.

Style Characteristics

The main characteristics of this SREF are the striking red and black contrasting color palette, which dominates almost all images and creates a powerful visual impact. The light effects are particularly prominent, especially the red light sources glowing against dark backgrounds, creating a captivating atmosphere and depth. Surface textures present a combination of metallic and smooth properties, with subtle wear and scratches suggesting technology that has weathered time. The overall composition tends toward the dramatic and tense, maintaining a cool and mysterious atmosphere whether in close-ups or panoramic views.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Hard lighting: Enhances the red-black contrast, makes metallic surfaces more brilliant, and strengthens the overall dramatic effect
  • Tech weathering: Adds subtle scratches and usage marks to surfaces, increasing realism and historical depth, making futuristic technology appear more believable
  • Volumetric fog: Creates a more mysterious and profound sense of space, allowing red light sources to produce more dreamlike scattering effects in dark environments

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for sci-fi movie posters, cyberpunk game promotional materials, futuristic music album covers, visual identity systems for technology-themed events, and any design project needing to express the fusion of technology and dark aesthetics. It's also excellently suited for concept art depicting dystopian worldviews or narrative works showcasing the contrast between high tech and low life.

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
