Comment (by mattwiebe):

 Just uploaded a patch for adding [http://automattic.github.com/Iris/ Iris]
 in a nice and unified style. Patch only addresses the Custom Background
 screen for now, but should be pretty easy to port to anywhere else that
 uses a color picker, as it now is a single JS widget. This also addresses
 #19616 while we're at it.

 Notes:

 * Introduces a `wpColorPicker` jQuery method that will contruct a standard
 widget on top of any `input` field
 * This will allow us to seamlessly swap out Iris for another color picker
 in the future should that be desirable
 * Takes a progressive enhancement approach - unsupported browsers (IE < 8)
 will still have a perfectly usable text input
 * Does not remove Farbtastic to maintain back compat for other
 plugins/themes that use it.

 `wpColorPicker` supports two callbacks, which are used like this on the
 Custom Backgrounds page:

 {{{
 $('#background-color').wpColorPicker({
         change: function( event, ui ) {
                 $("#custom-background-image").css('background-color',
 ui.color.toString());
         },
         clear: function() {
                 $("#custom-background-image").css('background-color', '');
         }
 });
 }}}

 Closed state (default):

 Open state:

 UI notes:

 * This is follows pretty closely on the Customizer's color picker UI
 * the "Clear" button will change to a "Default" button when there's a
 default color
 * A default color can be passed directly on the `wpColorPicker` method, or
 picked up directly from a `data-default-color` attribute on the `input`
 element
