Abstract: Abstract Let $$S(n,k)$$ S ( n , k ) be the Stirling number of the second kind. In this paper, we prove that for any integer $$n$$ n at least three, there exists a 3-uniform $$\mathcal{C}$$ C -hypergraph $$\mathcal{H}$$ H with chromatic spectrum $$R(\mathcal{H})=(1,r_2,S(n,3),\ldots , S(n,n))$$ R ( H ) = ( 1 , r 2 , S ( n , 3 ) , … , S ( n , n ) ) , which is the minimum chromatic spectrum of 3-uniform $$\mathcal{C}$$ C -hypergraphs with upper chromatic number n.
