What is Velvet Grain SREF style

This distinctive artistic **style** is characterized by its soft, almost diffused rendering combined with a pervasive, fine-grain texture overlaid across the image, creating a tactile and slightly retro feel. Colors are often vibrant yet gently muted, resulting in a serene and pleasing aesthetic found across landscapes, portraits, and still life compositions. To successfully replicate this look in **Midjourney**, a successful **prompt** often requires specifying mediums like 'pastel drawing' or explicitly demanding effects such as 'fine grain noise' or 'stipple texture' to capture the unique visual depth.

Velvet Grain Prompt Ideas

  • Vast rolling hills landscape reflected in a still blue lake under dramatic white clouds, pastel color palette, grainy illustration style
  • Modern still life featuring geometric pottery and vibrant tropical fruit, soft rim lighting, heavy texture noise, serene composition
  • A lone figure overlooking a stylized city skyline at dusk, neon accents muted by pervasive grain, nostalgic sci-fi illustration

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.
