    I want this to be a real second footer that I can apply a different background color too. Can someone point me in the right direction?

    Thanks!

    To add a second footer above the current footer you need to use the hook 'genesis_before_footer'.
    Genesis provides many hooks so for adding second footer above the current footer you have to use following code snippet :

    <?php add_action('genesis_before_footer','do_your_function');
    
    function do_your_function(){
      //declare the second footer widget area here
    }
    ?>
    

    In above function you just need to add the content into your widget area.
