There are 5 different shades of Diamond white, if you are repainting just a small area it is important to get it blended right. I thought diamond White was just one standard colour until I had my front and rear bumpers re-painted and the guy who did it explained it to me.
If you are painting a whole car it will not make any difference which Diamond white shade you use.

The guy who paints your car will use exactly the same shade of diamond white for the whole car so it wont be any problem for you.
