1. A vehicle lamp comprising:
a light source unit that includes at least one light source and generates light; and
an optical unit that is disposed in front of the light source unit and allows a predetermined beam pattern to be formed by transmitting at least some of the light generated from the light source unit,
wherein the optical unit includes:
an incident part, which includes a plurality of incident lenses;
an exit part, which includes a plurality of exit lenses corresponding to the plurality of incident lenses; and
at least one shield part, which is disposed between the plurality of incident lenses and the plurality of exit lenses to obstruct some of the light traveling toward the exit lenses,
wherein the at least one shield part includes a plurality of shields, and each of the plurality of shields includes a first reflective part and a second reflective part, which is disposed in front of the first reflective part,
wherein the second reflective part has a non-uniform reflectivity that is selectively higher for a predetermined wavelength band within a visible light spectrum, and
wherein the second reflective part reflects external light incident on the optical unit in the predetermined wavelength band and thereby forms an image that is visible in a color corresponding to the predetermined wavelength band.
