The Winter Court (ðə wɪntə(r) kɔː(r)t)

The Winter Court represents what people see as the malevolent side of the Fae. The fae of this court frown upon humans. They're more inclined to talk about their ope cruelty. This makes them look none other than evil, however one chooses to define evil. The Winter Court has free reign over winter solstice and autumn equinox months, and are strongest during that time. By and by, the fae of this court are sensible, chilled, dark, baleful, and what have you. They are the epitome of winter.

via Faeriepedia One of the two Unseelie Courts, the Winter Court is the Faer folk who are born in the winter months (Dec-Feb). Known for being the most "cold" and standoff-ish of the four courts.
The Winter Court is associated with cool, wintery colours like blue, grey, black and white.

Culture

As Winter is one of the two Unseelie courts, they follow the Unseelie conduct;

Change is Good: The Unseelie firmly believed that security was an illusion. They considered chaos to be the ruling force in the universe and accepted that they had to adapt and change to survive.

Glamour is Free: Glamour was the magick of the Daoine Sidhe. Both Seelie and Unseelie possessed its power. However, the two Courts had differing opinions over its use. The Unseelie believed that to have power and not to use it was near to sin. They used their power for whatever they saw fit.

Honour is a Lie: The Unseelie placed no stock in the ideals of honour. Instead, they pursued their own self-interests vigorously. The Unseelie felt as if truth could only be reached through devotion to self, not a devotion to others.

Passion Before Duty: Passion was considered to be the truest state of being. The Unseelie acted without thought on pure instinct and passion.
