What is High Contrast Graphic SREF style

This style is defined by extreme tonal separation, featuring deep blacks juxtaposed against brilliant whites, often minimizing or eliminating mid-tones for a dramatic, impactful visual. It heavily utilizes silhouettes, sharp edges, and simplified forms, reminiscent of graphic design or stark film noir cinematography. Generating images in this High Contrast Graphic aesthetic within Midjourney requires careful prompt engineering to enforce this binary color palette and sharp definition, resulting in clean, modern, and highly stylized compositions suitable for album art or minimalist conceptual pieces.

High Contrast Graphic Prompt Ideas

  • Profile portrait of an enigmatic young woman, chiaroscuro lighting, extreme high contrast black and white photography, deep shadows defining facial structure
  • A bouquet of stark white roses in a clear glass vase decorated with an abstract black Rorschach pattern, intense daylight from a window, hyper-minimalist composition
  • Brutalist cityscape, massive concrete structures rendered purely as black shapes against blinding white sky, graphic novel illustration

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.
