What is Grain & Block SREF style

This style, often termed Textured Illustration, is characterized by its graphic clarity, bold color blocking, and pervasive fine granular texture applied across all subjects. In Midjourney, incorporating terms like `stippled texture` or `fine grain` alongside a restricted, high-contrast palette (like deep indigo and metallic gold) yields striking results. This style is excellent for generating sophisticated, visually arresting compositions where depth is implied through texture rather than complex shading. Crafting the right prompt is crucial to balancing the flat graphic elements with the subtle surface detail that defines this aesthetic.

Grain & Block Prompt Ideas

  • A close-up portrait of an astronaut viewing a neon cityscape, textured illustration, limited palette of deep blue and gold, stippled texture, high contrast
  • Rolling golden hills under a pale blue sky, highly stylized graphic illustration, fine grain texture, deep indigo shadows, serene
  • A still life of ancient artifacts on a marble table, inspired by Indigo and Gold design, painterly yet graphic style, subtle texture detail
  • A whimsical steampunk owl perched on a clock tower, detailed illustration, sharp focus, patterned wings, high contrast color scheme

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.
