Melange means mix or blend. Melanger is the verb, meaning mixing.
Depending on the context, mélange can mean variety cf. 'un mélange de styles'
A mix of styles?
Variété is a French word, meaning variety. If the interpretation used in the screenshot was the intended goal, then that word was available too.
Mélange can sometimes be interpreted as a "variety" in a figurative sense, it doesn't directly translate to "variety" in the way variété does - there is semantic overlap.
Mixture and variety mean the same thing sometimes.
