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 side of the histogram where highlights clip. Because the JPEG only has 256 levels, and RAW has 4096, the JPEG will show clipping far sooner than RAW will. If you really wanted an accurate histogram (there's not much point of matching JPEG to RAW histograms when they have different amounts of data), you'd need to generate the histogram off the RAW data instead of using the JPEG preview.
