In a tournament how do you color up chips? If the blinds start at say 25/50 and eventually go up to 100/200, how would you get rid of those old $25.00 chips when players have odd amounts? Thanks.

trade in 4 25$ for 1 100$????

You trade in whatever possible, then take the odd amounts and add them up. For example, coloring up 25s to 100s:
Player 1 -25
Player 2 -zero
Player 3 -25
Player 4 -50
Player 5 -75
Player 6 -zero
Player 7 -50
Player 8 -75
Player 9 -zero
That is $300 in chips, so 3 $100 chips are up for grabs. The zeros are out. Now deal one card for each $25 chip. So players 1 and 3 get one card, players 4 and 7 get 2 cards, players 5 and 8 get 3 cards.
Now-I think (correct me if I am wrong) that the player with the highest cards get the 3 chips, I dont think pairs count. So a single Ace beats 644. Tie breakers go to 2nd card. Three of the 6 players get chips, so even if you get AA or AK, you can only get one chip.

Jacatone,
Homepokertourney.com explains it very well.
Color-ups and chip race

Dave B explained what's called a Chip Race according to TDA Rules. I think it's probably the fairest and simplest way to do it. (not to mention most 'official')

According to the Home Tournament site mentioned above, suite plays a major role in who gets the colored up chips. If say there are only 3 $100 chips available and 6 players would it be the Ace of Spades first, then say the Ace of Clubs second, then the King of Spades next? Thanks.

If there were only 3 chips available and six players than the highest cards win the chips. Remember, only one race off chip per person is awarded though. No one wins more than one.
If you hand out all six cards and four Aces were given to four of players. I guess you could go to the suit. I assume it would be Spades (high), Hearts, Clubs and Diamonds (low) which usually how people play suits. Generally though when the third ace comes, providing that it was given to a third person and that no one received two aces than we stop and award the three right there not even going on to the fourth person. Never had any issues with that.
In your example if:
Player 1 - Ace
Player 2 - Ace
Player 3 - King
Player 4 - Queen
Player 5 - Three
Player 6 - Seven
Than Players 1, 2 and 3 would win.
If:
Player 1 - Ace
Player 2 - Ace
Player 3 - King
Player 4 - King
Player 5 - Three
Player 6 - Seven
Player 1 and 2 win automatically. Then you could go to the suit for the Kings OR what we do is deal each person with a King one more card. High card wins.

Hey it’s how they do it at my local casino 
E.g.
1 * £25 chip = 1 * £100 chip
2 * £25 chip = 1 * £100 chip
3 * £25 chip = 1 * £100 chip
4 * £25 chip = 1 * £100 chip
5 * £25 chip = 2 * £100 chip
6 * £25 chip = 2 * £100 chip
...

My casino does it like Muck's.
Round up to the nearest $100 and that's how many you get. If you have 1 $25 chip, you get one $100 chip. If you have 4 quarters you also get $100. Five quarters gets you $200.
