What is Monochromatic Retro Reverie SREF style

Monochromatic Retro Reverie is an artistic style that captures timeless elegance through a single-color palette, evoking the past. Characterized by desaturated tones resembling vintage black-and-white photos or charcoal sketches, it creates a sense of nostalgia and dreamy contemplation. When used in a Midjourney prompt, this style renders subjects as poignant, narrative scenes with delicate linework and rich textures. The Monochromatic Retro Reverie style is perfect for crafting classic portraits, atmospheric landscapes, and introspective illustrations that feel like cherished memories or forgotten dreams, adding a sophisticated, historical quality to your creations.

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.
