I tried out PenguiNet on a previous recommendation from HN, and was sadly disappointed. They do not support setting the background and foreground colors separately from the explicit ASCII colors.
Due to various conditions with my eyesight, I can see the text on the terminal much more clearly when it's dark text on a light background. You can do this in PenguiNet, but then you loose the ability to specifically create black text in your output, since it's now the color of the background.
Putty's support for this feature is pretty much seamless, in contrast. I believe that this is on Silicon Cirus' wish list, but until that's supported it's mostly a non-starter for me.
For your case I can see that being a big deal. I'd strongly recommend PenguiNet for people with slightly more conventional needs--aside from feature reqs like this, I feel that it's head and shoulders above PuTTY and the programs that hang as a bag off the side of it like PuTTYCM.

I use PenguiNet over PuTTy - nice clean interface and excellent support - http://www.siliconcircus.com/
