Using a grey or white card to set WB shouldn't affect latitude, it's a relative setting not absolute. Also I from my experience the variances in the colour of grey cards is far greater than that of bright white papers. The only problem that you may encounter with some camera when balancing off white paper in direct sunlight is sensor saturation.
