I saw Donovan perform the song "Mellow Yellow" on TV, back when the song was a hit. I don't remember what TV show it was on, but the host asked Donovan what he meant by "Mellow Yellow". Donovan explained that "Mellow Yellow" was the nickname for their keyboard, the camera flashed to a close-up of the keyboard and it was bright yellow in color. I think they said it was a very cutting edge, high-tech keyboard (for the times). If you listen to the sound of the keyboard in the song, it makes some very interesting sounds. That all makes sense of the lyrics.
