What is Monochrome SREF style

This aesthetic relies entirely on luminance, showcasing sophisticated visual impact through the deliberate interplay of deep blacks, pure whites, and intricate shades of gray. It strips away color distraction to emphasize texture, form, and composition across subjects like portraits or landscapes. When crafting a **prompt** in **Midjourney** to achieve this impactful look, specifying high contrast and precise lighting, such as dramatic chiaroscuro, is key. This **style** yields timeless, highly detailed imagery that feels both classic and modern, perfect for emphasizing graphical elements and depth.

Monochrome Prompt Ideas

  • Minimalist landscape photography of vast rolling hills under a bright sky, deep shadows carving out the topography, extremely high dynamic range
  • Close up still life of reflective glass bottles and textured woven fabric on a clean white shelf, monochromatic composition, moody lighting
  • Architectural photography of brutalist concrete structures, high contrast black and white, dramatic interplay of light and shadow

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.
