What is Neo-Synthwave SREF style

Neo-Synthwave is a highly stylized digital art aesthetic characterized by an electric color palette dominated by vivid magentas, cyans, and deep purples, reminiscent of 80s synthwave visuals but rendered with modern, sharp digital clarity. This style excels at creating atmospheric scenes, dynamic characters, and glossy environments. When used in a Midjourney prompt, it produces images with high contrast, saturated lighting, and smooth, almost vector-like surfaces, perfect for striking digital artwork.

Neo-Synthwave Prompt Ideas

  • Vast rolling hills landscape under a giant moon, deep magenta and cyan color grading, sharp angular shading, cinematic lighting
  • Close-up portrait of a confident woman with dramatic shadows and rim lighting, electric pink and blue background, clean graphic lines
  • A collection of glowing glass beakers and lush tropical plants on a wooden counter, vibrant synthwave illumination, high contrast digital illustration
  • A futuristic cityscape viewed through a wet window, heavy neon reflections, deep indigo and hot pink palette, hyper-detailed vector aesthetic

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.
