Most SREF codes are filters. They adjust the tone, the palette, the mood — but they leave the structure of your prompt intact. SREF 2170 is different.
SREF 2170 renders subjects in coastal solitude. Cold blue line-work, vast horizons, and a contemplative maritime mood define the output. Scenes feel peaceful, isolated, and timelessly serene by the sea.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the emotional tone of SREF 2170?
Serene, peaceful, contemplative, isolated, and timeless. The maritime setting enforces solitude and reflection.
Does SREF 2170 add warmth to compositions?
No — it emphasizes coolness. Cold blue linework, vast empty horizons, and a sense of distance. Warmth works against it.
Is SREF 2170 good for people?
Only for solitary figures in contemplative poses. Crowds, interaction, and energy contradict the code's serene aesthetic.
What aspect ratio works best?
Very wide (16:9, 2:1, 3:1) for expansive seascapes. Also works for tall portraits (3:4) if the composition emphasizes vertical isolation.
Can I add narrative drama to SREF 2170?
The code resists drama. It enforces quietness and peace. Try if you want subtle melancholy, but overt conflict will be muted.
