There are no "Photoshop color codes" as far as I know, but there are indeed "color libraries" that let you choose exact values for a color swatch, or the closest to a sample, be from a photo, scanned document or from other libraries.
Most common libraries in Photoshop are the Pantone family, Toyo, Trumach, EarthTones... and Pastels, that are supposed to correspond with most usual oil paint colors.
If you want to know the closest CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) or RGB (red, green, blue) values for Titanium White, double click on square sample in "Color" palette, choose "custom...", find Pastels library, pick your swatch, and go back to "picker" mode. If you need the closest Pantone, then go "custom" again and choose Pantone (un)coated instead of Pastels.
Maybe your Photoshop is so new that it doesn't even have Pastels or EarthTones libraries (for obvious reasons, i f you compare them with Pantone, for example). You may fin them in Illustrator; proceduere to pick color values is the same.
Or make a web search for such libaries for Photoshop, download and install them.
