This is more important if you are painting metallic or pearl paints than solid colors. It's also cheap insurance that the panels are all the same, but not absolutely necessary. Weather and paint mix can come into play, but if the paint is from the same batch, and mixed really well, there shouldn't be much of a difference on a solid color.
