PR Summary
Fixes #14232.
Bug was introduced via #13097 where https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/13097/files#diff-1417350fe654c637d773bb4eac12b8f0 will make at least a 2-element list even for N=1.
The fix special-casese N=1 instead of reverting. I think it's cleaner that way. In particular also because the chosen value for N=1 is an arbitrary choice and we can make that obvious in the special-casing. The choice (color at x=1) is compatible with the former behavior.
