What is Somber Depth SREF style

This style captures a deeply evocative and often somber mood through meticulous detail and dramatic interplay of light and shadow, heavily reminiscent of contemporary symbolic oil painting. When using **Midjourney**, prompts incorporating this aesthetic often yield richly textured results in landscapes, portraits, or still lifes, creating a sense of mystery or powerful emotion. To successfully replicate this aesthetic in a **prompt**, focus on terms like "dramatic chiaroscuro," "muted palette," and "hyper-detailed texture" to achieve this powerful, lingering visual impact.

Somber Depth Prompt Ideas

  • A vast, melancholic landscape dominated by monumental storm clouds towering over a reflective lake and sparse birch forests, highly detailed oil painting, dramatic natural lighting
  • Close-up profile portrait of a contemplative woman in a dark turtleneck, background texture resembling swirling, dark figures, intense rim lighting, moody realism
  • Still life arrangement of exotic, pale flowers in an ornate, dark ceramic teapot on a patterned table, strong chiaroscuro lighting, muted color palette
  • An abandoned Victorian greenhouse overtaken by heavy fog and shadowy overgrown foliage, sense of deep mystery, cinematic atmosphere

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.
