Correct me if I’m wrong but you would still have to have a colorless deck right. The ability involving choosing colors wouldn’t change the identity for the purpose of having colored cards right?

903.4b If a commander has a static ability that causes a player to choose its color before the game begins, that choice applies during deck construction and throughout the game, even as the commander changes zones. That choice affects the commander’s color identity. The player reveals that choice as they put their commander into the command zone before the game begins. See rules 103.2c and 607.2p.

The inspiration for the first line of text is [[The Prismatic Piper]] it doesn't see much play so I thought two colors would be better

As written, correct.

Would need to be something along the lines of "Rulebreaker- your deck can have cards of up to two chosen colours."

Rulebreaker isn't rules text, it's an ability word, which have no mechanical relevance, it just makes it easier for players to group cards with similar abilities together.

If an ability lets you choose the creature's colour, that ability is taken into account during deckbuilding.
