It depends on the specific application, but having painted a few cars, and done large "touch up" on others (spoilers, decklids, etc), for the most part, YES, "black is black."

Porsche nonmetallic black from the 70s and 80s, for example, is just pure "black." Very easy to match. Lots of other cars also use "pure" black (or close enough so you can't tell the difference).

I confirmed that with my pro paint supplier when I did a black car.

Like Lee says, black presents other challenges, though.

I've also done a few other colors. White is hard to match IMO. No car company uses "pure" white.
