I have been wanting to build eldrazi tribal for a while. Sadly with card like eldrazi displacer being my favorite wbite card in tha game (and second favorite drazi with ulamog being my favorite) i have bèen trying to think of a general. I would like to just run kozilek but he does noy allow access to the colored eldrazi (like displacer)
There aren't really any 5c commanders that synergize with the eldrazi directly, so your best bet is just run plenty of ramp and a commander that ives you some kind of additional advantage on top of your monstrous eldrazi and presumptive devoid/ingest shenanigans.
Child of Alara gives you a wrath in the command zone and is suitably creepy looking if you want some eldritch horror with your Eldrazi.
Progenitus is the flagship big dumb beater apart from the Eldrazi themselves and is another payoff for ramping.
Cromat is a boring swiss army knife, but could work. Not high on my list as the Eldrazi don't often want you leaving mana open.
The new non-tribal dragon commanders probably have the best value for you, Ramos, Dragon Engine ramps you up to Kozilek or Ulamog 2.0 mana and O-Kagachi, Vengeful Kami helps protect you while packing some ulamogesque removal in the command zone. Karona, False God is your only real option if you want to go pure tribal, but with the tribal commander decks dropping her drawback is a real thing.

I was thinkin cromat but you do have a point.
Ramo would be a poor decision as even if I do run some colored eldrazi, it would not be enough to ramp ramos up to WWUUBBRRGG
A different direction.
Drop white. Play Yidris or some combo of partners. Vial smasher could be one and funny with Eldrazi Titans.
Displacer doesn't play that well with the other Eldrazi...
Having Cascade into more Eldrazi/Ramp is sweet.

Cromat is fine, just not exactly inspiring and I am more likely to be wanting to dump my mana into titans than into cromats abilities. If you were to run Ramos you could also run several WUBRG value cards to ramp him up more easily, as well as a powerful multicolor spell suite. It's definitely not impossible, even if your primary creature suite is colorless, if you save Maelstrom Archangel and other ubiquitous five color cards for when he's on the field.
I personally like O-Kagachi or the Child for this, though the child less so if you want to run lots of rocks.

Reading is tech, as his favorite card is the displacer so this is fairly unhelpful. Of course, there are multiple other four color options that keep white in, of which Kydele, Chosen of Kruphix would make plenty of sense as one of the partners.
I play tested a 5-color, colorless with things like Mycosynth Lattice and Enchanted Evening with Atogatog as the general with Odyssey Block Atogs as a pseudo tribe. It was incredibly unpredictable in its outcome but the atogs proved to be resilient little critters that could hit hard at a moments notice most times.
I only bring Atogatog up because Cromat was mentioned and Cromat will rarely win you the game. Atogatog has a better chance at actually swinging hard.

Yeah for this you're just out of luck. I think you should just run a general for the colors and never play it. But even going by that plan though, Karona is the best option imo because she is the only one who can actually do something for your tribe if you do want to cast her and who knows, maybe giving all those Eldrazi spawn tokens +3/+3 is enough to take an opponent out. Then you don't need to worry about that drawback...
