WP Color Picker has no appropriate disable / destroy method.

It seems WP Color Picker has no appropriate disable or destroy method.

You can do

colorPicker.wpColorPicker('option','disabled', true);

Nothing happens except it adds wp-wpColorPicker-disabled class. The color picker works like it is in normal state.

The same thing happens with destroy method, you can do

colorPicker.wpColorPicker('destroy');

And nothing happens here, too.

Thanks for the suggestion @Aniruddh !

wpColorPicker is currently in maintenance mode so we're not adding enhancements/new features to it. Instead, we encourage you to try out our new color picker component over in the Gutenberg repo: ​https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/tree/master/packages/components/src/color-picker

How does that affect all the themes that use it currently?
