Hello,
When I import a png (which was exported from Illustrator) into my InDesign, the colors on my InDesign document change and become significantly dull.
How can I get the correct colors back? Is there something to check in the import options?
Thank you!
Configuration: Windows / Chrome 71.0.3578.98

This is set in the "color" menu (Edit/Colors). This concerns the color management rule that you can configure according to the work you are doing.
Another thing, InDesign allows you to display based on the work and thus the output device (web, printer, etc.). For this, the configuration is done in the "view/proof setup" menu.
And finally, the PNG format does not manage process inks. You will have a conversion if your document is in CMYK or if you are simulating CMYK.
