What is Tonalism SREF style

This aesthetic is defined by its cohesive, limited Monochrome Palette, often favoring warm, desaturated tones like muted oranges and browns, creating a unified, nostalgic, or sophisticated mood. The visual elements, whether vector illustrations or photography, are strictly governed by these few colors, leading to a strong sense of visual harmony and simplicity, reminiscent of older photographic processing. When crafting a Midjourney prompt, specifying this restrictive color style is crucial, using terms like `monochromatic`, `sepia tones`, or naming the dominant colors. Mastering this approach in Midjourney ensures all rendered subjects adhere to a single, atmospheric color register.

Tonalism Prompt Ideas

  • A futuristic cityscape enveloped in perpetual twilight, rendered in a highly detailed monochrome palette of burnt orange and taupe, cinematic lighting
  • Portrait of an ancient queen, rendered only with shades of peach and deep brown, fine texture, atmospheric
  • Minimalist flat vector illustration of a single autumn tree reflected in still water, using only four contiguous color blocks, earthy tones
  • Still life of antique mechanical gears on a wooden table, monochromatic color scheme focusing on rich sienna and beige

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.
