What is High Contrast Monochrome SREF style

This aesthetic is defined by extreme tonal separation, prioritizing stark silhouettes and dramatic interplay between pure black and brilliant white areas, often minimizing mid-tones. It evokes a strong sense of drama, graphic simplicity, and sophisticated minimalism. When crafting a **Midjourney** **prompt** for this look, focusing on terms like "silhouette," "high key," or "stark contrast" is crucial to achieve this specific **style**. This technique excels at emphasizing form, texture, and composition over detail, making it perfect for striking portraits, graphic landscapes, or modern still life compositions generated via AI.

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?
