ColorPicker issue in new WordPress 5.5

[juliarrr]

Hi,

I'm testing new Release Candidate 2 and there is an issue with color picker:
wpColorPickerL10n is not defined.

It happens because there is no script that was in the previous WordPress versions.

<script>
var wpColorPickerL10n = {"clear":"Clear","clearAriaLabel":"Clear color","defaultString":"Default","defaultAriaLabel":"Select default color","pick":"Select Color","defaultLabel":"Color value"};
</script>

Can you add it into the new version?
Thank you!

Hey @juliarrr.

Thanks for opening the ticket. There have been some changes in the localization variables in WordPress 5.5. See [48383].

Keep an eye on the Make/Core (​https://make.wordpress.org/core/tag/dev-notes+5.5) blog, a dev note will be posted in a few hours for these changes.

Suggesting to close this as clarifications are already provided in the developer note.

Looking at the plugin and theme directories, wpColorPickerL10n is used in ​4100+ plugins and ​1000+ themes.

Not all of them will be affected though, there are a lot of false positives.

Some appear to already be updated, like the ​Customizr theme.

Hopefully the dev note linked above will help more plugins and themes to update. Closing for now, as it's not an issue in WordPress core.
