I'm a new Mac user (macOS Sierra on MacBook pro).
Coming from Windows, I used PuTTY as my terminal emulator which was fairly simple but quite useful.
I'm looking for a terminal emulation program that copies text to the clipboard upon selection (and not requiring my to hit CommandC), like in PuTTY.
Is there such an app?
Thank you.

iTerm 2 claims to be able to do this.
Edit: I just downloaded it, and it seems to work well enough that I think I'll switch from iTerm 1:
I'm not sure what's going on with you and macports, but I just installed tmux using macports. it took about 30 seconds, and was completely painless.
FWIW, I've subsequently spent enough time with GNU screen that I basically just use it for everything at this point. iTerm is nice if you want a local, mouse-driven multiplexer, but almost everything I do is server-side at this point, and doing it all over one SSH connection is much better anyways.
I use iTerm, which allows you to set styles, including black and white.

iTerm2 has this functionality.
It's actually really easy to use and works exactly like you describe - you select your type and then middle click to paste within iTerm.
iTerm2 has many more features that make it far and away better than PuTTY and the best part is that it's free (as in beer) like PuTTY.
Above screenshot, I have selected the content of my Guest directory. No clicks or keyboard shortcuts have been pressed.
In the image below, I simply press CommandV and paste it from the clipboard to TextEdit. This is out of the box functionality - I haven't made any modifications to key combinations within iTerm2.
