What would be the best method of mapping a attribute from one CSV to another CSV?

I am trying to pull a attribute from one csv to another based on a primary key column. Here is an example of a before and after of what I am trying to do:

 

Before:

 

CSV 1

Primary ValueValue
1red
2blue
3green

 

CSV 2

Primary ValueValue
1 
3 
3 
2 
2 
3 

 

 

 

After:

 

CSV 1

Primary ValueValue
1red
2blue
3green

 

CSV 2

Primary ValueValue
1red
3green
3green
2blue
2blue
3green

 

Essentialy I am just trying to fill the "Value" column in CSV 2 with the attributes mapped out in CSV 1. In my actual data-set I have hundreds of values in my mapping, so I don't want to create indivudual formuals for each mapping. 

I was wondering if anyone else knew another way?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

@Hoss2434 I would suggest using the Join tool:

Input examples:
CSV1

BS_THE_ANALYST_1-1676422478733.png

CSV2:

BS_THE_ANALYST_2-1676422500515.png

Output (once you deselect appropriate fields):

BS_THE_ANALYST_3-1676422549301.png

@Hoss2434 Another way of doing this with the find and replace method
