It will be exactly the same IF the metal added is exactly the same.  Therefore expect a little difference, generally about the same.  Welding heats it up right-much hot, so there will be a variety of colors right around the weld.  When you clean it up and then reheat that should even it out.

I like the looks of the slight differences in coloration.
