Yes, "light-blue" is correctly hyphenated when used as a compound adjective before a noun, such as in "a light-blue dress." The hyphen helps clarify that "light" modifies the color "blue" together, rather than suggesting a different interpretation. However, if used after the noun, it is typically written as two separate words: "The dress is light blue."
