Take your Midjourney creations to the next level with style reference codes. These simple numeric codes instantly apply powerful visual aesthetics to your images. With Dream Prompts’ extensive library, browsing, copying, and using these codes is seamless and inspiring.

What Is a Style Reference Code?

A style reference code is a numeric identifier that captures a specific visual aesthetic, such as lighting, tone, texture, or mood, in one easy-to-use code. Add --sref code at the end of your prompt, and Midjourney applies that aesthetic consistently and efficiently.

How to Use a Style Reference Code

  1. Write your prompt as usual: serene forest at dawn
  2. Add the style reference code: serene forest at dawn --sref 3921074188

Side-by-side comparison of two serene forest scenes at sunrise; the left side shows a realistic photograph of sunlight streaming through pine trees over rocks and grass, while the right side depicts a colorful, painterly digital artwork of slender trees reflected in water with a pastel sky

Midjourney will apply the referenced aesthetic to your image every time.

Combine Multiple Style Reference Codes

To blend aesthetics, list multiple style reference codes: serene forest at dawn --sref 3921074188 1569011096

Digital painting of a tranquil forest with tall, slender trees rising through soft blue mist, illuminated by warm golden sunlight near the ground, with clusters of glowing blue and white flowers scattered across the forest floor

You can also weight each style’s influence: serene forest at dawn --sref 2213253170::2 4114158294::1

Digital painting of a serene forest at sunrise, with tall slender trees and a glowing sun casting golden rays through the trunks, set against a pastel sky of pink and blue, with colorful wildflowers blooming on the forest floor

Here, the first style has twice the influence of the second.

Fine-Tune with Style Weight

Control how strongly the style applies using the --sw (style weight) parameter. Values range from 0 (minimal influence) to 1000 (maximum influence); the default is 100:

dreamlike portrait --sref 1234567890 --sw 50

dreamlike portrait --sref 1234567890 --sw 500

Discover Styles with random

--sref random

Midjourney assigns a random style code and, after generation, reveals the numeric code so you can reuse it. You can also mix random and specific codes:

--sref random 2213253170
--sref random random
