It's pretty straightforward.

Very cool!!

dict lookup can make you code smaller, faster, and easier to understand and modify...

        if color_code == 'g':
            printc_ios_helper_func(input_string, 46,204,64)
        elif color_code == 'r':
            printc_ios_helper_func(input_string, 255,65,54)
        elif color_code == 'c':
            printc_ios_helper_func(input_string, 127,219,255)
        elif color_code == 'b':
            printc_ios_helper_func(input_string, 0,116,217)
        elif color_code == 'y':
            printc_ios_helper_func(input_string, 255,220,0)
        elif color_code == 'm':
            printc_ios_helper_func(input_string, 240,18,190)
        elif color_code == 'k':
            printc_ios_helper_func(input_string, 25,25,25)

        color_dict = {'g': (46, 204, 64),
                      'r': (255, 65, 54),
                      'c': (127, 219, 255),
                      'b': (0, 116, 217),
                      'y': (255, 220, 0),
                      'm': (240, 18, 190),
                      'k': (25, 25, 25)}
        printc_ios_helper_func(input_string, color_dict[color_code])

Also, to avoid bare exceptions change except: to except ImportError:.
