To　improve　traffic　safety　in　highway　tunnels　in　China,　technology　for　color　combination　of　colored　pavements　in　tunnels　was　studied.　With　specimens　of　methyl　methacrylate　coating　on　colored　pavements,　lighting　indexes,　i.e.,　the　luminance　coefficient　and　reflection　ratio,　were　studied　from　experiments.　Then　eye　movement　indexes,　such　as　fixation　point　distribution　and　fixation　center　distance,　were　analyzed　with　data　from　eye　tracker　in　simulation　experiments.　Based　on　the　research　above,　the　coefficient　of　variation　method　was　taken　to　choose　the　optimal　color　combination　from　alternative　schemes,　which　considered　both　indexes　of　lighting　and　eye　movement.　Finally,　research　accomplishments　were　applied　in　one　highway　tunnel　in　Fujian　Province,　and　the　semantic　differential　method　was　used　for　verifying　application　results.　The　results　from　example　verification　indicate　that　the　technology　is　beneficial　for　selecting　the　reasonable　pavement　colors.　©　ASCE.
