I dont know the colors but, there is not an abundance of male breast cancer as there is in women, but, yes I agree with you, Male breast cancer does happen.....
I met a gentlemen that had it at one of the local Relay For Life events that the American Cancer Society holds every year.

breast cancer is breast cancer whether it is in a male or female. It os pretty rare in males, so I imagine, they probably have not made a ribbon color for it.
Green is for organ and tissue donation. Black is for POAMIA.
yellow is to support out troops and I had a purple one on the back of my car for domestic violence support.

There isn't another color for male breast cancer because breast cancer is breast cancer whether it is in a man or a woman. This question is like asking why there aren't two different colors for supporting our male and female troops.

Pink is just the official color for Breast Cancer awareness, it is not gender specific.
Purple is the color for stopping child abuse.
