Is it possible to make an element "global" ?

is it always the same content ?

there is for example a hook just before footer (ava_before_footer) you can use it to insert shortcode ( f.e. from alb elements)

add_action('ava_before_footer', function() {
echo '<div class="avia-section main_color special-one"><div class="container">';
echo do_shortcode("
[av_postslider link='category,1,14,15' wc_prod_visible='' prod_order_by='' prod_order='' columns='3' items='-1' offset='0' contents='no' preview_mode='auto' image_size='portfolio' autoplay='yes' interval='5' custom_class='']
");
echo '</div></div>';
});

you see here the long tail is the shortcode from a post-slider – : you know how to get it from debug mode ?
the rest is to have the same parameters as a color-section

or if you don’t want to place a shortcode there
( guess a advanced slider will be possible too)

add_action('ava_before_footer', function() {
echo '<div class="avia-section main_color special-one"><div class="container">';
echo do_shortcode("[layerslider id='19']");
echo '</div></div>';
});

and you only want to place some html code there – this will be enough (again the divs got that classes of every color-section and one for your adjustments or an id to anchor for ):

function some_content_before_footer() {
?>
  <div id="last-section" class="avia-section main_color special-one">
	  <div class="container">
         Some html content, f.e an image
	  </div>
  </div>
<?php
}
add_action('ava_before_footer' , 'some_content_before_footer');

the thing is that my code implements allready the color section characteristics and settings with the container following
so only do the content of that color section in it

because if you have this structure without surrounding containers :

add_action('ava_before_footer', function() {
	echo do_shortcode("
	   here the shortcode from debug mode including the surrounding color-section
	");
});

that does not work

you have to only do the content in it – you can use container elements like 1/2 etc:

so to get your insertion shortcode create a new page with your layout you like to have in that section – but without color-section:
click to enlarge:

this code comes to :

add_action('ava_before_footer', function() {
	echo '<div id="last-section" class="avia-section main_color special-one"><div class="container">';
	echo do_shortcode("
		 here comes only the shortcode of the content of that colorsection in it 
	");
	echo '</div></div>';
});

PS the background-color has to be set via the id : last-section or the class: special-one

That it does not work with colorsection on that simpler code with no surroundigs has to do with their settings in it:
i think all alb elements that have this in their config:

function shortcode_insert_button()
			{
				$this->config['type']			=	'layout';
				$this->config['self_closing']	=	'no';

color-sections and tab-sections are not self-closing containers !
a grid-row f.e. will work with that code – and will not break the footer:

add_action('ava_before_footer', function() {
	echo do_shortcode("
	   here the shortcode from debug mode including the surrounding color-section
	");
});
