What is ChromaSurge SREF style

This style is characterized by its extremely high color saturation and dynamic use of non-literal, expressive hues across all elements, from landscapes to portraits. The rendering mimics thick, expressive brushwork, creating textured surfaces and dramatic light effects without adhering strictly to realism. When crafting a **prompt** for **Midjourney**, emphasizing bold color choices and painterly texture is key to achieving this energetic **style**. It yields results that feel both modern and emotionally charged, moving beyond simple flat illustration into deeply textured visual narratives.

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?
