I feel like I should know this, but I'm now realizing that I don't have much knowledge of managing color profiles. I have an InDesign project and on specific pages, when I add a photoshop file (.PSD or PNG, etc) it instantly causes the colors within the InDesign file to be dulled (obviously cmyk preview)

I'm attaching a screenshot of the PSD inside the document (dulled blue colors)
And when I delete the PSD file (bright blue colors)

So its obiously a color settings thing, but I have no idea where to start.

Also attaching my colors settings (from photoshop and Indesign)

Does your PSD image have transparency? If so, check your Transparency Blend Space in the edit menu.

If transparency is set to CMYK and your text is an RGB colour, on adding an image or anything else with transparency , the whole page preview will change to CMYK
