What is Vivid Surrealism SREF style

Vivid Surrealism is an artistic style that merges the bizarre, dreamlike logic of surrealism with a bold and highly saturated color palette. It creates scenes that feel both familiar and strangely impossible, often featuring clean lines, unexpected juxtapositions, and symbolic imagery against vibrant backdrops. In Midjourney, this style produces visually arresting images with high contrast and intense emotional impact. By using a well-crafted prompt, you can generate everything from fantastical landscapes to surreal portraits that pop with color. This style is perfect for creators looking to make a statement with unique, eye-catching visuals.

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.
