What is Grain Bloc SREF style

This distinct style captures a vibrant, nostalgic look reminiscent of late 20th-century graphic design, characterized by high saturation, bold color blocking (especially blues and yellows), and heavy grain texture to emulate aged print media or screen-printed art. When crafting a prompt for this aesthetic in Midjourney, it is essential to specify these textural elements and the vivid color palette to achieve the desired surreal yet familiar ambiance, often utilizing mixed media or collage composition techniques. This look is very popular for modern editorial art.

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.
