What is Calm Pastel SREF style

Calm Pastel is an aesthetic defined by its soft, muted, and desaturated color palette, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere. This style emphasizes gentle tones, simple compositions, and often a dreamy, minimalist feel, perfect for conveying peace and quiet introspection. In Midjourney, using this style in your prompt will generate images with soothing hues, soft lighting, and a distinct lack of harsh contrast. The 'Calm Pastel' style is incredibly versatile, ideal for creating everything from gentle character portraits and peaceful landscapes to abstract art that feels both modern and timeless.

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.
