If I play 1/2 NL I buy $300 all red, or 2/5 NL I buy $500 all red chips. You will get white chips back as soon as you win your first pot, or when you post your blind the dealer will make change. Remember to toke the dealer when you win the pot.

For 2/4 limit, you would just buy $100 in white (which is one rack). A general rule for limit games is to buy in for 25 BB, so $100 for a $2/4 game or $500 for 10/20, etc. For a limit game, I would think you really don't need to worry about getting both white and red chips unless you are playing $4/8 or up. Once you get to 10/20 and up, you will not be using white anymore (except for tips).
