Art Style Type

This SREF style blends cinematic atmospherics with neo-retro futurism. It adopts color aesthetics similar to works by film directors like Michael Mann and Nicolas Winding Refn, while incorporating visual elements of 1980s retro-futurism. This style creates strong color contrasts under neon lighting, giving scenes a cinematic and futuristic feel with a nostalgic atmosphere.

Style Characteristics

The main characteristics of this SREF are dramatic red and cyan lighting, creating strong contrasts and atmospheric mood. The treatment of light gives objects glossy textures, while color saturation is extremely high. The overall image has a dreamlike quality, as if set in another time and space. This style is impressive because it evokes emotional resonance while presenting a surreal aesthetic experience.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Cinematic lighting: Adding this word enhances the dramatic contrast of light and shadow, making scenes more narrative-driven and film-like
  • Michael Mann aesthetics: Using this can reinforce the cool/warm color contrasts, creating an urban nightscape atmosphere
  • Neon ambiance: Adding this element improves the overall futuristic and nostalgic feel, while enhancing the visual impact of colors

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for music album cover design, fashion photography, sci-fi movie posters, night city scene illustrations, cyberpunk-themed game art, and any visual work that needs to create strong emotional atmosphere or futuristic feel. It's also excellent for visualizing nightlife, bar scenes, or high-tech environments in visual storytelling.

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
