What is Duotone SREF style

This visual aesthetic is defined by a striking, high-contrast, limited color palette, primarily utilizing intense neon magenta, cyan, and electric yellow tones to map highlights and shadows. It strongly evokes a stylized, modern graphic novel presentation or vintage screen-printed poster look. When generating images in this style using Midjourney, explicitly defining the color separation is crucial for a successful prompt. This technique dramatically simplifies the color information, resulting in highly stylized portraits, landscapes, or detailed scenes that command attention due to their artificial vibrancy and graphic boldness.

Duotone Prompt Ideas

  • Portrait of an astronaut in a neon duotone palette, magenta and cyan, cinematic lighting, high contrast
  • A dense jungle scene rendered in electric yellow and deep blue duotone, highly detailed illustration
  • Still life of antique pocket watches and gears, striking duotone effect using hot pink and lime green, graphic design aesthetic
  • Epic futuristic cityscape at night, deep purple and bright cyan duotone, dramatic shadows

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.
