The metal flake will lay differently, especially when the car is painted at the factory with electrostatics. The pearl white is the only Z color like that. They will be able to get close, but it will never match exactly.
Sapphire black is the same process. My wife hit a deer in her Murano Platinum. Local body shop matched it up beautifully. The only part that prevents if from being a perfect match is that their paint job has no orange peel effect like the rest of the car.
