What is Ethereal SREF style

The Ethereal aesthetic is defined by an overwhelming sense of softness, dreamlike quality, and muted, desaturated color palettes dominated by earth tones and pale greys. This photographic style heavily relies on diffused lighting, fine details, and often incorporates delicate natural elements or gentle surreal compositions. To achieve this mood in Midjourney, ensure your prompt specifies soft focus, low contrast, and emphasizes textures like silk or diffused light to capture its delicate, contemplative essence.

Ethereal Prompt Ideas

  • A vast, rolling landscape under a heavy, overcast sky, foreground distorted like flowing velvet fabric, extremely muted earth tones, Ethereal photography
  • Close-up portrait of a young woman with eyes closed, backlit by soft window light, subtle dried flower petals floating around her head, pensive mood, soft focus
  • Minimalist still life of a single frosted pear and dried magnolia blossoms on draped linen cloth, illuminated by soft, diffused light, pale beige and taupe composition
  • An ancient, overgrown stone archway softly illuminated by dawn mist, desaturated color, highly atmospheric, serene and timeless feeling

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.
