I've always thought that the native colour balance was for daylight.
Everything else is measured in terms of what colour of light is
missing. It's also the most used colour balance (with flash coming a

I don't see how color balance would make the JPEG and RAW match. The
presets in the camera are what modify the JPEG file; sharpness,
saturation, etc. If you set all the in-camera controls to neutral,
they will be close enough most of the time.
Where you will see a difference is at the far right
