If you're a beginner and on a budget, it's fine to start off with students' quality paint, but I'd recommend graduating to artists' colors once you start producing artwork that you care about preserving (especially if you aim to sell your work). The difference between the two isn't just how they're made - often it's noticeable that artists' colors are more vibrant and have a smoother consistency that makes them easier to blend and layer. Students' colors are cheaper, but the trade-off is a smaller selection, lower pigment levels and the possible inclusion of fillers which may weaken the color strength. Artists' quality paints (sometimes referred to as "professional") come in a wide range of colors, have a high concentration of finely ground pigment, and boast high permanence ratings. You can buy acrylics in two grades: artists' quality and students' quality.
