What those queries wont find are cards like [General Tazri](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=407529) if they ever do four colour versions. For some reason, devoid cards are also considered colourless for searches if they ever decided to bring that back. I don't think there is a general gatherer query that will catch all edge cases though. They really need to update gatherer search engine but since comments have been broken for years now, I don't see that changing any time soon.

That is right. The filters don't consider the concept of color identity used in the commander format.

The four-color commanders in Commander 2016 were a big deal because there *weren't* any before. (People sometimes use the Nephilim, but they're not actually legendary.) So, there are [the five-color ones you already know how to find](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?action=advanced&color=%20[W]%20[U]%20[B]%20[R]%20[G]&type=%20[creature]%20[%22Legendary%22]), and the five from Commander 2016.

It's not too hard to go through all the possibilities to confirm this, but since there's only one result for each query, these searches all currently redirect right to the card:

* [WUBR](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?action=advanced&color=%20[W]%20[U]%20[B]%20[R]%20![G]&type=%20[creature]%20[%22Legendary%22])
