Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of Retrowave, Cyberpunk, and Pop Art. It presents an 80s retro-futuristic feel while incorporating the refinement of modern digital art. The style evokes a combination of vintage sci-fi posters and contemporary illustration, particularly through the use of vibrant contrasting colors and fine linework, creating a visual effect that is both nostalgic and cutting-edge.

Style Characteristics

The most striking characteristic of this style is the highly saturated neon color palette, especially the bold combination of purples, pinks, yellows, and blues. The linework is very crisp and detailed, with a distinct illustrative rather than realistic approach, giving characters and objects a refined comic-like quality. Lighting is dramatically handled, creating strong visual impact, while backgrounds are often simplified into flat color blocks to further emphasize the subjects. This style impresses because it both evokes nostalgia while showcasing the technical sophistication of modern digital art.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Neon lighting effects: Enhances glowing elements in the image, making colors more dazzling and adding a futuristic feel and nighttime atmosphere
  • Synthwave style: Strengthens the 80s retro-tech feel, adds electronic grids and geometric elements, enhancing the overall period ambiance
  • Detailed linework: Increases the fineness of lines and texture representation, making characters and scenes more vivid and enhancing the professional quality of the illustration

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for music album cover designs, video game art (especially indie games and retro-style games), sci-fi themed posters, fashion magazine illustrations, nightclub event promotional materials, and any creative project that needs to combine retro elements with a modern feel. It's also very well-suited for social media visual content, as its vivid colors and distinctive style easily catch attention during scrolling.

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
