What is Gilded Noir SREF style

Gilded Noir is a striking visual aesthetic characterized by intense chiaroscuro, contrasting deep, rich blacks with brilliant, highly detailed golden accents. This look merges the dramatic moodiness of film noir with opulent, intricate ornamentation reminiscent of Baroque or Art Deco design, often featuring metallic textures. When using this style in Midjourney, generating a precise prompt requires emphasizing materials like polished metal, obsidian, and elaborate filigree. It creates images that feel luxurious, mysterious, and highly dramatic, perfect for character portraits, intricate objects, or atmospheric landscapes bathed in a single, intense light source.

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?
