What is Soft Pastel SREF style

The Soft Pastel aesthetic is characterized by extremely muted and desaturated color palettes, heavily featuring pale blues, delicate pinks, creams, and whites. It evokes a strong sense of serenity, calm, and dreaminess, often seen in contemporary digital illustration and minimalist photography. When using this as a descriptive element in a Midjourney prompt, it significantly reduces harsh contrasts and saturation, resulting in airy, gentle visuals perfect for character portraits or tranquil interior scenes. Mastering this look requires precise color control in your Midjourney prompt to achieve the signature ethereal quality that defines this popular style.

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).
