Abstract SREF Codes for Midjourney

Abstract SREF codes transform your Midjourney prompts into non-representational art that prioritizes color, form, texture, and emotion over literal subjects. These codes apply abstract art principles - from expressionist brushwork and color field aesthetics to geometric abstraction and experimental compositions - creating powerful visuals that communicate through pure visual elements. Simply add the code, describe your concept, and let the SREF handle the abstract interpretation.

Quick Tips

Color field composition:

three horizontal color bands --sref 1847392650 --sw 140

Gestural abstraction:

bold brushstrokes, red and black --sref 2847561930 --sw 130

Geometric pattern:

interlocking circles and squares --sref 2938471560 --sw 135

Fluid organic:

flowing organic shapes, pastel colors --sref 806146621 --sw 120

Prompting for Abstract Art

Abstract codes work best when you:

• Focus on colors, shapes, and emotions
• Use abstract terms (flowing, angular, explosive)
• Mention art movements (cubism, suprematism)
• Describe feelings rather than objects

Examples:

feelings of joy and energy --sref 419643348 --sw 130
tension between order and chaos --sref 2938471560 --sw 140
peaceful contemplation, blue tones --sref 2847193560 --sw 125

Style Weight Guide

• 90-120 - Subtle abstract influence (semi-abstract)
• 120-160 - Standard abstract aesthetic
• 160-200 - Extreme abstraction and non-representation

Start with --sw 130 and adjust from there.
