Sep 20, 2010 at 6:43 comment added Niel de Beaudrap @Andrew: indeed, that construction had occurred to me. In addition to it being lousy, I assumed that anything that any bound that could be achieved by such a simple graph construction was likely to have been surpassed by more sophisticated combinatorial arguments. :-)
Sep 19, 2010 at 16:00 comment added Andrew D. King As you probably realize, this is equivalent to colouring the graph that you get by replacing the hyperedges with cliques. Doing this gives you an upper bound of $k(\omega-1)+1$ if the hypergraph has maximum edge size $\omega$, by Brooks' Theorem. That's a pretty lousy bound, though, and I imagine you can do better.
Sep 19, 2010 at 12:39 comment added Niel de Beaudrap @Joseph: thanks, this may prove helpful in the future. I'll take a look at it, but I am interested also in principle in 'non-typical' instances.

Completely rephrased in what are hopefully equivalent terms

Sep 15, 2010 at 18:36 comment added Joseph O'Rourke I don't know if this helps, but the asymptotics of the chromatic number for random uniform hypergraphs is known, in a (long!) paper by Krivelevich and Sudakov.
