Truth, justice, morality
How about universally subjective. That is, the qualities depend on how they strike us as individual subjects(subjective), but the qualities flow necessarily from faculties and conditions we all have as people(universal).

Not bad. But I'd add that as perceptions of truth, justice and morality flow from universal human faculties, there likely exist optimal "settings" for these concepts that the vast majority of human beings would be, hrm, "happier"? "more content"? believing in.

Not the same as their being objective, but virtually the same.
