How to Get More Color in Your Midjourney v7 Images

Midjourney V7 creates amazing pictures. But have you noticed the colors? Often, they show a familiar feel. Maybe a lot of pinks and blues. Sometimes they seem less bright than images from older versions like V6. V6 used to have a lot of orange and teal. V7 looks more polished overall, but the colors can feel a bit predictable.

People often use style references (sref) to change the look. But what if you only use words? Can prompt phrasing alone add lots of vibrant color? We ran some tests to find out. We used a few test subjects: an angel, a chameleon, a pyramid, a lotus, and a landscape.

Trying Different Color Prompt Styles

Here are some prompt styles tested to see how much color and different textures they could add. These styles were used with the test subjects mentioned earlier.

Acrylic Sprays

This style makes images look like thick paint was sprayed or thrown around. It creates layers and splatters. Colors overlap strongly. It feels like paint is in motion, swirling and mixing. It gives a strong, textured color effect.

Candy Core

Imagine a world made completely of sweets – bubble gum, taffy, jelly beans. This style produces super sweet, colorful images with glossy textures. Everything looks sugary and unreal. It really leans into bright pinks and soft looks, like a candy dream.

Color Glitch Cascade

This makes colors look broken or distorted, almost like a bad video signal. Layers seem to fall apart. You see bright edges and warped lines. Colors seem to drip and look corrupted, turning the subject into a fragmented rainbow.

Cosmic Slime

Think of glowing, gooey liquid from outer space. This style blends deep space shades with weird, sticky shapes. It's a mix of beautiful space colors and strange, tactile forms. It feels both fun and a little strange.

Daylow Static

This style hits you with intense bright colors like fluorescent pink, green, and yellow. They flicker like static on a faulty TV with the brightness turned way up. The look is bold and noisy. It feels like looking at intensely bright paint under a black light.

Heat Map Hallucination

This creates visuals that look like temperature readings gone wild. It uses strong shifts between colors like bright red, violet, and yellow. It feels scientific but also like a strange dream. Images show strong color changes that look like a thermal scan, but in an abstract, almost feverish way.

Iridescent Overload

Get ready for heavy shine and shifting colors. Surfaces look super glossy and pick up light from everywhere. You see luminous purples, greens, and golds mixing like oil on water. Everything gleams with a strong rainbow effect.

Pop Art Chaos

This style uses bold lines, simple dots (half-tones), and loud primary colors thrown together without order. It looks like comic book art during a breakdown. Images are full of strong outlines, textures, and clashing colors. It's about visual noise and maximum impact.

Sparkle Storm

Picture a flurry of glitter, light pieces, and shiny dust swirling everywhere. It's like a magic explosion in a disco ball place. Glitter flies around, making surfaces shine brightly. The look is soft but very shiny and feels magical.

Stained Glass Fractal

This style creates complex geometric shapes filled with bright, jewel-toned glass colors, like a stained glass window but more intricate. It feels sacred, mathematical, and like looking through a kaleidoscope. Shapes are detailed, and the glass colors glow, creating rich, patterned images.

UV Graffiti Fog

Imagine electric graffiti tags softly glowing through a misty area under ultraviolet lights. The setting feels like an empty city rave lit only by black lights. Images show glowing spray clouds and bright tags in dark city spots, casting blue and violet light. It captures an underground feel.

Results from the Color Experiments

Using just words did bring in a lot more color and variety, with some surprising outcomes. However, even with these strong color prompts, the pictures still kept some of Midjourney's usual look. That signature smooth and sometimes soft feel remained, even with lots of bright colors.

Make Your Prompting Easier

Experimenting with many different prompts and styles can take time. Testing all these color ideas involves running many jobs. A tool designed to help manage and automate your Midjourney tasks can make this process much faster. Consider using the TitanXT Midjourney Automator to streamline your creative workflow and test prompt variations quickly.

Keep Exploring Color

Playing with different words to get the colors you want is a fun part of using Midjourney. These styles show you can push the base look quite a bit just by changing your prompt words. Keep trying new combinations to see what vibrant images you can create.
