It's a good question, since these days, mind is seen by many as an objective process-- just the brain and its parts doing their little physico-chemical dance, with outputted behavior therefore being deterministic. In this context, I guess you'd have to say that "subjective" ideas are those which are dependent on the function of an individual person, and "objective" those which are not. So most people would say that the sun's color is objective, while the best color is subjective.
It's a bit of a philosophical paradox, in my opinion, when the human mind is called both subjective and objective, because those words are meant to be polar opposites.
