We evaluate the amplitudes of the two relevant current-current operators on the lattice for N-c = 3-7. We conclude that the subleading 1/N-c corrections in B-k, are small, but those in the K -> pi pi amplitudes are large and fully anticoirelated in the I = 0, 2 isospin channels. We briefly comment on the implications for the Delta I = 1/2 rule. %R 10.1103/PhysRevD.94.114511 %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1607.03262 %U https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.94.114511 %P 114511-6pp
