What is Chromatic Lighting SREF style

This aesthetic emphasizes dramatic, saturated illumination, frequently employing complementary or triadic color gels (like deep cyan/indigo and bright yellow/orange) to carve subjects out of deep shadows. Objects appear hyper-real, glossy, or crystalline, with sharp transitions between highly lit areas and pronounced darkness. Achieving this signature look in **Midjourney** often requires a detailed **prompt** specifying the color palette and lighting technique, such as "split lighting" or "gel lighting." This striking visual **style** is perfect for creating modern, energetic product shots or cinematic character portraits that demand immediate visual impact.

Chromatic Lighting Prompt Ideas

  • Hyper-realistic portrait of a thoughtful woman bathed in intense cyan and warm yellow split lighting, high contrast, studio shot
  • Still life arrangement of futuristic glass sculptures glowing under deep indigo and electric orange gel lighting, highly detailed, polished surfaces
  • Close-up of a metallic robotic hand holding a single glowing orange orb, dramatic volumetric lighting, deep blue background, cinematic
  • A lone astronaut standing on a reflective purple surface, illuminated only by harsh magenta and lime green spotlights, moody atmosphere

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.
