Managed Metadata: Source from Data List

Question

In SPO/O365, I have a Data List containing two columns:

A                 B
-------------     -------------
Red               1
Blue              2
Green             3

I'd like the data of the Data List to be available for meta data entry, in such a way that a user is able to select a colour (column A) and the value of code (column B) will be used in further processing.

I know to set this up manually using a Managed Metadata column but I'd like to tie these two together in other way.

Any suggestions?

I think your best option here is to create a Lookup column, which does exactly what you're trying to accomplish.
