What is Achromatic Rendering SREF style

The Monochromatic style emphasizes the interplay of light, shadow, and texture by eliminating color, relying solely on shades of gray. This approach is highly effective in Midjourney for creating dramatic, timeless, or starkly graphic visuals, as seen in the provided images ranging from detailed landscape photography to high-contrast ink illustrations. To achieve this effect in a prompt, specify techniques like 'high contrast,' 'film grain,' or specific rendering methods like 'ink drawing' or 'black and white photography.' This restrictive palette often enhances compositional strength and mood.

Achromatic Rendering Prompt Ideas

  • A close-up editorial portrait of a mysterious figure wearing reflective glasses, high contrast black and white photography, dramatic rim lighting
  • Vast, atmospheric Scottish Highlands landscape under heavy clouds, extreme texture detail, pure monochromatic style, Ansel Adams influence
  • Still life of stylized ceramic vases and exotic plants, intricate hatching lines, graphic novel aesthetic, black ink drawing style
  • Minimalist composition of a single antique clock, deep shadows, strong chiaroscuro, ultra-realistic monochromatic rendering

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a Midjourney Style Reference (--sref)?

A Style Reference, or SREF, is a powerful feature that lets you use the aesthetic of a reference image to influence the style of your generations. Our library provides the direct SREF code for thousands of styles.

How do I understand and use the Aspect Ratio (--ar) parameter?

The --ar parameter controls the aspect ratio of your image. For example, --ar 16:9 creates a widescreen image. Our guide provides a full list of supported ratios.

Why is my SREF code not working?

Ensure you are using a compatible Midjourney version (v6 or newer) and check for typos. Sometimes, strong keywords in your prompt can override the style; try reducing the style weight (e.g., --sw 250).

Can I use this SREF code with a Character Reference (--cref)?

Yes, --sref and --cref can be used together. This is a powerful combination to maintain a consistent character while applying a consistent style.

Which versions support style reference?

Style Reference is compatible with Midjourney versions 6, 7, and Niji 6.

What is the default image size for Midjourney V7?

Midjourney V7 creates upscaled images at 2048 x 2048 pixels for the default 1:1 aspect ratio.

What is the default style weight and what range can I use?

The default style weight is --sw 100. You can set it between 0 and 1000.
