Chromoly might be slightly lighter than the equivalent of steel ?

But when people say light, it would be in relative terms.

Chromoly being stronger might mean you could make an equivalent part using less material. So on those cases the end product would be lighter.

But it's still steel, steel is never light. Well unless it's like a pin or a needle lol
