An ICU collation may produce better results for this:

select initcap('blue-green don''t cat''s tail' COLLATE "en-x-icu");
       initcap
-----------------------------
 Blue-Green Don't Cat's Tail

With hyphens, it's not clear what the results should be.
Looking at the IMDb movies database [1] for instance, titles have
a mix of upper and lower case following the hyphen, even within the
same english title:

Hell-to-Pay Austin
The Co-respondent
A Pit-boy's Romance
A Cowboy's Mother-in-Law
Our Parents-In-Law
The Good-for-Nothing
When the Fire-Bells Rang
The post-millennial wave
