hi, could anyone please tell me the blue color for a bultaco 175 221, grabber blue or ral 5015.

I have used OPEL Signalblau or GM signal blue for my 175 ccm Bultaco Sherpa.

The old GM Color code is 224 or L the blue color is slightly darker than RAL 5015.

You can also use RAL 5015, sky-blue IMHO it does match too.

Here is mine 175ccm Sherpa with fresh paint job:

If you are unsure go to your paint dealer or paint shop and ask him if you can loan a color chart,

I had never a problem getting one just to determine the right color. You can also take with you the side

stand or rocker to a paint dealer to determine the ri´ght color just there. Every good paint dealer or shop should have the basic color charts.

I can't give you the RAL number, but Bultaco blue is PPG Grabber Blue, paint code DBU (Deltron Base Color) 2230. Same paint color (Grabber Blue) used on the 1970 Ford Mustang.
