strong brand shape with compact and easy to say
Score suggests a weak resale profile. Unless you have a specific end-user in mind, the carrying cost outweighs the upside.

mellow.news is a keyword-forward name — "mellow" carries intrinsic meaning before any branding layer is added. At 6 characters the name sits in the short bucket — not ultra-premium, but comfortably in the zone where brandable startups shop. The phonetics are balanced between vowels and consonants — typical for a pronounceable English-style name. .news is a content-oriented TLD, which narrows the buyer pool but works well for publishers and information products. The Wayback Machine has no archived snapshots of the domain, suggesting it was parked or lightly used in any prior registrations. At DQS 48, the name sits in the mid band — not an automatic buy, but worth evaluating against a specific use case rather than on its own merits. Because the name is still in redemption (day 3 of 30), its future is largely controlled by whether the prior registrant pays the restore fee. Bottom line: evaluate this one against a specific use case you have in mind. Mid-band names don't sell themselves — they sell when the buyer is already looking.
