I wanted to say '3' in that I could just look into the jar and pull what I wanted ... but I know that it's not the correct answer.

What are you talking about?
This card is written just fine.
It's like the question where you have say 10 red socks and 15 blue socks in a drawer. How many socks do you have to take out to be sure of a matching pair?

Try thinking this way...

Spoiler: (highlight to read)

How many beans would you have if you could look in the jar and pick out one of each colour? Now, if you were to close your eyes and pick at random from the jar, how many would you have to take out in order to have two beans in any colour?

Once you have that, expand it to include the criteria of three of any colour.



Hope it helps.
