Description

When loading a JPEG image with an embedded grayscale ICC profile using ColorProfileHandling.Convert, the image is rendered incorrectly. The colors are flattened to a uniform light gray instead of preserving the original grayscale tones. However, when using ColorProfileHandling.Preserve, the image renders correctly with the expected gray tones.

The issue appears to be in the ICC profile conversion logic when handling grayscale color spaces. The conversion from the grayscale ICC profile to sRGB is not producing the correct pixel values.

Steps to Reproduce

using SixLabors.ImageSharp;
using SixLabors.ImageSharp.Formats;

// Load image with ColorProfileHandling.Convert (INCORRECT - flattens to light gray)
using var imgConvert = Image.Load(new DecoderOptions
{
    ColorProfileHandling = ColorProfileHandling.Convert,
}, "test_image_with_gray_icc_profile.jpg");
imgConvert.Save("converted.jpg");

// Load image with ColorProfileHandling.Preserve (CORRECT - preserves gray tones)
using var imgPreserve = Image.Load(new DecoderOptions
{
    ColorProfileHandling = ColorProfileHandling.Preserve,
}, "test_image_with_gray_icc_profile.jpg");
imgPreserve.Save("preserve.jpg");

Start by reproducing the issue with the provided C# example and attached grayscale ICC-profile JPEG, comparing ColorProfileHandling.Convert with Preserve. Trace the ICC profile conversion path for grayscale color spaces; done means Convert preserves the source image's grayscale tones instead of flattening them to light gray.
