What is Synthwave Grid SREF style

Synthwave Grid is a striking aesthetic characterized by hyper-saturated neon colors, often featuring vibrant reds, oranges, and purples juxtaposed against deep blacks. This style heavily incorporates geometric overlays, such as sharp diagonal stripes, horizontal scan lines, and tiled backgrounds, giving compositions a retro-digital, slightly corrupted look reminiscent of 1980s computer graphics or VHS distortion. When crafting a **Midjourney** **prompt** for this look, specifying these structural elements alongside the intense lighting is key to achieving this dramatic **style**. It mixes traditional subjects like portraits or landscapes with aggressive digital patterning.

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.
