May 20, 2021 at 8:35 comment added Dominic van der Zypen Thanks @bof - I have to think more about my formulation, but you can post this as an answer so we can close this thread as long as I don't have a better formulation
May 19, 2021 at 23:50 comment added bof Let $H=(V,E)$ where $|V|\ge5$ and $E=[V]^3$. Plainly $\chi(H)=\left\lceil\frac{|V|}2\right\rceil\ge3$. If $S\subseteq V$ and $|S\cap e|\le2$ for all $e\in E$ then $|S|\le2$ and $\chi(\operatorname{Gr}_H(S))\le2\lt\chi(H)$. Are you sure you stated the question correctly?
May 19, 2021 at 11:25 comment added bof Did you really mean to require that $|S\cap e|\le2$ for all $e\in E$? So if $H=(V,E)$ is a complete $3$-uniform hypergraph, $E=[V]^3$, you want $|S|\le2$?
