What is Graphic Monochromy SREF style

This aesthetic is defined by extreme tonal contrast, strictly utilizing pure black and white with minimal or no gray gradients, resulting in sharp, powerful visual impact. It frequently combines photographic textures with highly intricate, graphic illustration elements, often featuring dense patterns or circuit-like details. When optimizing a Midjourney prompt for this style, emphasizing keywords like 'high contrast', 'stark black and white', and 'vector line art' will effectively capture this bold visual style across various subjects.

Graphic Monochromy Prompt Ideas

  • Portrait of an ancient warrior, rendered in stark black and white graphic etching, intricate tribal patterns covering the skin, high contrast
  • A serene Japanese garden scene, minimalist black and white linocut illustration, extreme contrast between shadows and light elements
  • Close-up of a mechanical butterfly, detailed ink and vector art, sharp focus, monochrome design
  • Abstract composition of flowing water paths through fields, high contrast black and white photography, dramatic tonal separation

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.
