What is Chromatic Realism SREF style

Chromatic Realism is a digital aesthetic characterized by intensely saturated colors, dominated here by electric blues, combined with hyper-reflective, often metallic or glass surfaces. This style emphasizes deep shadows contrasted with brilliant rim lighting, creating a dramatic, almost liquid shine on objects and figures. When using **Midjourney**, incorporating material descriptors like 'chrome,' 'glossy,' or 'iridescent' alongside specific lighting instructions is key to achieving this high-fidelity CGI look. Crafting an effective **prompt** for this aesthetic requires precise control over color grading and light sources for maximum visual impact.

Chromatic Realism Prompt Ideas

  • A lone figure standing on a desolate alien landscape filled with glowing blue orbs and sharp metallic palm trees, hyper-detailed 3D render, cinematic blue lighting
  • Close-up portrait of a classical sculpture illuminated only by harsh, diagonal beams of neon blue light creating sharp shadows across the face, high contrast, photorealistic
  • Still life composition of vintage cocktail glasses and chrome barware reflecting intense azure light, strong volumetric shadows cast by venetian blinds, editorial photography
  • Futuristic, clean architectural interior with highly polished, mirror-like floors reflecting a single source of brilliant blue light from above, minimalist design

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.
