It is impossible to get an accurate opinion on color using photos taken with a cell phone. There are so many things wrong with the photos you provided, angles, lighting, glare... Ultimately you will not get the answers you are looking for here.
That being said this job looks 100% better than the previous paint job.

If I knew MW would be such a pain in the a$$ than I wouldn't have ordered this color. Lesson learned for next time. |

I think if you would have went to a reputable shop you wouldn't be in this position. It's all junk in there how can you expect you car to be up to your standards..

I dont understand..you had one of the premier tuner shops chime in on how difficult it is to match MW.
So OP this what you need to do: 1) Take your car to a "good" body shop..By good I mean a shop that is painting high end cars 2) Have them blend the hood and fenders |

This is what happened to my brilliant white bumper. My buddy who owns the paint shop used ppg mixture and the pearls came out too be too fine. I went to get the Glasurit sample and it has the right pearls now.
Sometimes a different paint brand will be off. I know the Glasurit brand matches very well. I believe that's what bmw uses. The same formula could be applied to ppg paint or dupont but it may not come out the same.

In the first pic the passenger side looks off but their a large light source there. The driver side looks fine. I wouldn't judge a shop by what other cars they have there. Mineral White seems to be a very tough color to match. You should have asked them to paint a sample stick before painting and then laid it on top of your hood.. If you are asking I'm assuming you don't think its a perfect match.
