It works, so long as you don't care how many chips are in play (and if that number changes).
Consider an example of colouring up T100 chips. If 5 players all have 2 odd T100s, you would round them all down to 0, removing T1000-worth of chips from play. It's "fair" to the players colouring up (or down, in this case), but it changes the number in play - which might give a slight advantage to the big stacks (more pressure on the small stacks).
