The reason those touch-up tubes discolor is when they aren't climate controlled in shipping to the dealerships. We've got several orders that came in like that and the customers got VERY upset because they didn't try it out. It was winter and my guess was the cold air did something to the paint.

Temperature does absolutely nothing to the paint - unless you get to extremes like -20 or over 150. Being 'cold' does nothing to color - it will only make the paint thicker until warmed up.
It was probably never the right color if it isn't now - especially with a white - white will never get darker only more yellow.
If it didn't appear the same color after testing it take it back and ask for a fresh one - open it up and try it on something like several others have said.
