What is Vivid Matte Grain SREF style

This style is characterized by expressive, visible digital brushstrokes that mimic traditional media like gouache or thick acrylics. It employs a warm, earthy color palette accented by bold yet playful shapes, resulting in vibrant yet grounded compositions across landscapes, portraits, and still life. Utilizing this aesthetic in Midjourney allows for creating artwork that feels handcrafted and contemporary, perfect for editorial or decorative pieces. When crafting a prompt, emphasizing visible texture and a specific color harmony, rather than photorealistic precision, will yield the best results in capturing this inviting illustration 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).

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.
