With a colorless commander; are you allowed to have colored spells in the deck?

Since Memnarch has {U} in its color identity (colors in the text box count towards color identity) it is allowed.

Ok....I'm still trying to get a hang of the format.

It's all good, it can be a confusing format to get into. Once you get the color identity thing down, it's pretty simple.

I assumed it had to be based on the commanders mana cost, not all colors on the commander card

Just to confirm, Keyeto is correct. In commander, a card's "color identity" is determined by all mana symbols appearing on the card anywhere, not just CMC. So memnarch is indeed a {U} card, because blue mana symbols appear on the card, with his activated abilities.

This is its own rule, not to be confused with card color, which is separate from color identity. For example,  {Crimson Muckwader} has a color identity of {R}{B}. Red for obvious reasons, black for its regen cost. So Muckwader could only be in a commander deck with a commander that contains both black and red. However, because Muckwader's CARD color (based on mana cost alone) is only red, it is still subject to {doom blade}.

The color of your deck must follow your commander's color identity, which is not necessarily its card color (like Memnarch here)

does anyone have any suggestions for the deck?

You have to put Bribery in this deck, so much for taking things that don't belong to you.
