Recent work shows not only the necessity of a 1/N{sub c} expansion to explain the observed mass spectrum of the lightest baryons, but also that at least two distinct large N{sub c} expansions, in which quarks transform under either the color-fundamental or the two-index antisymmetric representation of SU(N{sub c}), work comparably well. Here we show that the baryon magnetic moments do not support this ambivalence; they strongly prefer the color-fundamental 1/N{sub c} expansion, providing experimental evidence that nature decisively distinguishes among 1/N{sub c} expansions for this observable.
