Art Style Type

This SREF style blends surrealism, vintage illustration, and modern graphic design elements. It presents a "new retro" aesthetic that combines nostalgic styling with contemporary color treatment. The style carries the quality of mid-20th century illustration while exhibiting modernity through vibrant color contrasts and meticulous details.

Style Characteristics

The most prominent characteristic of this style is the bold yet harmonious color palette, especially the contrast between highly saturated tones like pink and blue against softer backgrounds. Each piece features flat compositions while maintaining rich details and textures. The dramatic handling of light and shadow creates a dreamlike atmosphere, while the precise delineation of edges and contours enhances the overall artistic quality. This style is impressive because it successfully balances nostalgia and modernity, feeling both warm and emotionally resonant.

Style-Enhancing Prompt Keywords

  • Vintage Poster Style: Strengthens the nostalgic feel while maintaining modern color treatment and composition
  • Dreamlike Color Contrast: Enhances the visual tension between bright tones and soft backgrounds in the image
  • Detailed Illustration Texture: Improves the overall quality and detail representation, making the image richer and more dimensional

Recommended Application Scenarios

This style is particularly suitable for music album covers, independent film posters, decorative art for artistic cafés, promotional materials for lifestyle brands, fashion magazine illustrations, and any creative project requiring a combination of nostalgia and modern aesthetics. It's also excellent for social media content creation, as its striking colors and distinctive aesthetic easily stand out on visually saturated platforms.

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
