Art Style Type

This SREF style blends elements of neo-noir aesthetics, cinematic noir, and subdued futurism. It exhibits qualities reminiscent of cyberpunk and neo-expressionism, but with greater subtlety and refinement. Through strong light-dark contrasts, a limited color palette, and dreamlike atmosphere, this style creates a visual language that feels both modern and somehow nostalgic.

Style Characteristics

The most striking feature of these images is the extreme low-key lighting treatment, with almost all scenes immersed in deep, dark tones illuminated by minimal light sources. This use of limited lighting creates dramatic atmosphere while imparting a sense of mystery. The color scheme leans toward blue-gray tones, establishing a cool and melancholic mood. Textures are refined and precise, with particularly smooth and natural transitions at the boundaries between light and shadow, delivering a cinematic visual experience.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Cinematic low-key lighting: Enhances the dramatic contrast in the images, making light sources more purposeful and narrative-driven
  • Atmospheric blue tones: Strengthens the overall cool color palette, intensifying the melancholic and mysterious emotional expression
  • Refined texture: Elevates the detail finesse, especially maintaining sufficient information in the shadow areas

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for mystery film posters, sci-fi game covers, atmospheric music album artwork, high-end fashion photography, and any visual work requiring a mysterious, contemplative, or introspective atmosphere. It's also excellent for character designs with strong storytelling elements and emotionally expressive portraiture.

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
