You're giving it file_1 first, which isn't the file containing the keys to match with, and later, matching against column 1 of the other wrong file.

So, let's try saving the keys from file_2, then matching them with the second column of file_1:

Code:
awk 'NR==FNR{a[$1];next} ($2 in a)' file_2.txt file_1.txt > output.txt

Intensi- ties must be in the range of 0 to 1000. If you are redefining an existing color, you must use its current name (default color names are: black, blue, green, cyan, red, magenta, yellow, and white). setcolor returns the color's name string.
