Then run the following command
chsh -s /usr/local/bin/tmux
CAPS LOCK
Reset caps lock to be ctrl, System Preferences > Keyboard > Modifier Keys. I find this a bit better than reaching for the actual control key with my small finger.

Iterm2 has better all round support for colours, tmux and accessing the the clipboard. This is installed using Caskroom in the section above.
