I think this says it best ...

In more recent years a new metering method has evolved splitting the scene into a number of zones, anything from three upwards, and then comparing the readings from each zone to come up with an exposure to suit the scene as a whole. These have developed to such an extent that some forms of this metering have anything up to 256 zones and take into account the colour from each zone. However, no matter how sophisticated they may be, in the end all they do is 'average' the exposure across the image frame, with perhaps a bias towards certain zones.
