I only need a touch up stick for a very small chip but I don't know which shade it is. Mine is the darker blue

Tonka, i know the frustration you are going thru.... The Z1B, although it true as Zedhead mentions they are designated "Super Candy", I have seen many variations ranging from a greenish blue through to a nearly royal blue, whereas the other, Z1 and Z1a's didn't vary much at all.
I recall years ago when a guy went to buy a replacement side cover for the blue Z1B, he ordered one from a dealer and it was completely a different shade of blue when he picked up his factory replacement,

For a tiny chip, I would take a side panel along to my local car paint supplier and get them to find the closest match metallic car paint. No one will ever know. 
Alternatively, ask RS Paints to send you a paint card for candy super blue. The problem with candy is it darkens the more you put on. A skill I would leave to Hutch and Flying Tiger
